missing link to my home page

    I’m using the ocean mist theme and I’ve modified it to make a large banner image up top. In doing so, I hid the ‘blog title’ and ‘description’ that typically is found at the top of the blog. The consequence is that now there’s no way to click back to the main page. How can I add a link to the top and side navbars for “home”?

    Alternatively, how can I code the css to link back to the homepage by clicking on the banner image?

    you can manipulate the h1 properties to make the clickable area bigger. For instance, i have used the following code on my header: 

    h1 {
display:block;
font-size:xx-small;
font-weight:normal;
min-height:175px;
margin:0 20px;
}

h1 a,h1 a:visited {
color:#fff;
text-decoration:none;
display:block;
min-height:175px;
}

    make the min-height measurement close to the vertical size of your header image so that the clickable area is very close to the same size as the image.

    Caveat: this is probably not the cleanest or most elegant way to write this code, since i’m only a beginner, but it will get the job done with some tweaking on your part. Someone else will probably come along in a few hours with something simpler.

    thanks, that method does work. but you’re right it is kind of sloppy. and i’d still prefer having a button to click on the top nav bar and side bar. but this is still better than nothing, i appreciate your help.
