Hello all, I've been learning how to code themes including using the .info file and the page.tpl.php and node.tpl.php and the variables that can be set. So, I want to add a link in the head section of the page, above the body tag. There is the variable $header that seems to handle all of this. This is set in the template.php file. So what is the best practice for hardcoding a link. I want to link to a foaf file. So, I'm not sure, should I go into the template.php file and edit the $header variable or can I just add the link tag to the page.tpl.php right after the call to display the variable or maybe right after? Thanks in advance for any help, Bruce

If you are not comfortable editing the tpl files, you can go and crate the custom block and show it in to the header. With this it will be added in $header and will be displayed in the area you want.

Thanks, I would not have thought about putting a theme in the header. Anyway, I didn't mean to say I am not comfortable editing tpl files. I haven't written too many functions to run inside of template.php but I probably could. I guess I might have sounded ignorant by asking if I should or needed to put the absolute link inside the $header variable, when I could just hard code it before or after the $header variable appears inside the page.tpl.php and it would just appear before or after it.
Thanks,
Bruce
