[support] A simple question from a beginner

[Steve Hays]

Shai,


I did not edit the page.tpl.  Instead, I disabled the title and slogan  
in the theme configuration.  Then in .css I replaced the header  
background image with my new image.

The result is that the HTML output of the header on all pages is blank  
<div id = "header"> </div>

What you said, though, enabled me to figure it out.  I simply needed  
to set the a href statement around the whole header div, and it worked.

By the way, I simply set it as <a href = "home">, which works on local  
host.  I hope this won't cause problems after upload?  I.e., I don't  
need to use the Drupal l() function to maintain proper internal links?

Thanks for the pointer.  Now that I see it, I feel pretty stupid for  
needing to  bother people with this.

Steve
