Hi all. I am very new to web design...etc. I want to place a button on my blog, with a picture (.jpg). I'm using Word Press for my Blog. I believe WP uses PHP, but not sure. Any advice would be great.
Thanks a Million

Hi Doug,
Where do you want this button placed? In the template somewhere or just in a post?
Also what type of button? Is it javascript or just a simple <a href> with an image?

Hi Cheez-Head,
Thanks for the reply. I want the button to be on the main page just under (or on) the header. I want the button to open a page so my subscribers can post their own news or ideas. I don't know what a <a href> means, but I would probally choose the easier of the two. Cheez, please take pitty on me, for I'm a die hard Lions fan, so that must tell you I need help.
Thanks, Doug

You're using the ProSense theme, which doesn't leave much room under the header.
I would suggest putting the image next the RSS icon on the right.

If, for example, you decided to place the image link next to the RSS icon on the right,
you would need to open the header.php file - located in the ProSense theme folder.

Find the following code in the file mentioned above...

<div id="header_right">
    <div id="subscribe">
        <a rel="nofollow" href="<?php bloginfo('rss_url'); ?>" title="Subscribe to RSS feed" rel="nofollow"><img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/rss-feed-icon.jpg" alt="Subscribe to RSS feed" /></a>
    </div>
</div>

You would then need to add a link like the one below...

<a href="http://WWW.YOUR-URL.COM" title=" "><img src="YOUR-IMG.JPG" alt=" " /></a>

The modified code should now look like this...

<div id="header_right">
    <div id="subscribe">
        <a href="http://WWW.YOUR-URL.COM" title=" "><img src="YOUR-IMG.JPG" alt=" " /></a>
        <a rel="nofollow" href="<?php bloginfo('rss_url'); ?>" title="Subscribe to RSS feed" rel="nofollow"><img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/rss-feed-icon.jpg" alt="Subscribe to RSS feed" /></a>
    </div>
</div>

Obviously, you would need to change "WWW.YOUR-URL.COM" and "YOUR-IMG.JPG"
to the actual names.

This is the simple way. Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks a million Lance. I hope Farve sticks around for another season. I'll let you know how it goes.

Hey Lance-
On that button, I followed your lead and see how it works (sorta). If you don't mind I have a few more questions. Where do I upload my pic for my button to? And how do I make it link to a new page?

I copied your code, placed it where you said, now I see a place where the button will go, just no pic, and it links to a page that isn't there (yet). I'm sure your busy, but any (more) help would be great.
Thanks,
Doug-

Hey Doug,
You should place the image in the root folder or in the image folder. Actually, you can
place it anywhere you want, just make sure the img tag in the link is pointing to it.

For example...
If you put button.gif in the root folder, the link will be...

<a href="http://www.movies-books-food.com" title=" "><img src="button.gif" alt=" " /></a>

But if you put it in the images folder, which is located in the wp-includes directory...

<a href="http://www.movies-books-food.com" title=" "><img src="wp-includes/images/button.gif" alt=" " /></a>

...and yes, the page has to exist before you can link to it.
