Thanks for this but it now raises another problem. One could want the image to be in the background so you could place text (name of blog, tagline whatever, over it.) This method will not work to make that kind of image clickable.
My theme requires the header image to be in CSS. Is there any way that I can still make it clickable in CSS? Further, is there a way to add an alt tag this way?
@Lyndi: That is true. You could include your image as a background (much like mine is) and in that case it couldn’t be clickable. In a case like that, most would just make the text a hyperlink.
@tata: If the image is in the CSS it would be included as a background image, so you couldn’t make it clickable or include an alt tag.
You should be commended for even anticipating what we all might want to do and have no idea how to go about it. Your thoughtfulness is much appreciated.
I knew I have seen it somewhere before. Guess where I found it, on my own site. This is an article on the subject originally written by Justin Tadlock and re-published by the previous owner of my blog. Hope this helps a bit.
