Hello,

Anybody know how to do this ? I need to link my header image to the homepage.

Thanks.

If you header image is not a background image, just right-clink in Design and select Add link.
Then, enter your home page URL in the box for URL.

As CopyWolf said, instead of adding your header as a background image, use Page Layout > Header Panel > Advanced Header. Add your header image here the same way you would if you were adding a photo to a page. Note: Check the Source tab first and remove any HTML such as <p>&nbsp;</p>.

This will only work if you do NOT need to type text over top of your header image. If the latter is the case, you'll need to leave it as a background image, but you won't be able to link it to your Home page. This is one reason that, as a designer, I would always add text (title, tagline, phone number, bullet points, etc.) directly to your header image. The other reason is for aesthetics: text as part of a graphic looks better, sharper and cleaner than HTML text, plus you can use any font you want without worrying about the necessity of it being Web-safe.

Well, how do I get around this. It seems I absolutely need to do this. All my competitors on pages 1,2 and 3 have done so.....

Hi, Kelvin,

I explained in my post above how to do this. Is there something I can clarify for you?

Oh....I guess I misread your very first paragraph.

It shouldn't do that, so I'd say you need to post more details here: a link to the site, screenshots, etc.
