   Hey everyone,

   First off, I'm a huge fan of Thematic, so thanks to Ian and Chris.

   Second, I have a question. It probably has a simple answer, but I'm stumped. I'm still learning PHP and CSS.

   My site: http://davidakennedy.com and http://davidakennedy.com/blog

   My question: How can I get the image header on the blog page to link back to the blog home page (http://davidakennedy.com/blog), instead of the regular home page.

   I basically put it there using one of Ian's prescribed methods: http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/adding-a-header-image

   I, of course, want to accomplish this without editing Thematic's files.

   Thanks for all the help! I'm looking forward to learning more about Thematic, as I hope to really use it more as a CMS-type theme (along with Wordpress), as well as a blogging theme.

   Hi David,

   add the following code to your child theme's function.php:

   function remove_blogtitle() {
   	remove_action('thematic_header','thematic_blogtitle',3);
   }
   add_action('init', 'remove_blogtitle');
   
   function my_blogtitle() {
   	if (is_front_page()) {?>
   	<div id="blog-title"><span><a href="<?php thm_bloginfo('url', TRUE) ?>/" title="<?php thm_bloginfo('name', TRUE) ?>" rel="home"><?php thm_bloginfo('name', TRUE) ?></a></span></div>
   	<?php
   	} else { ?>
   	<div id="blog-title"><span><a href="<?php thm_bloginfo('url', TRUE) ?>/blog/" title="<?php thm_bloginfo('name', TRUE) ?>" rel="home"><?php thm_bloginfo('name', TRUE) ?></a></span></div>
   	<?php
   	}
   }
   add_action('thematic_header','my_blogtitle',3);

   This will keep the link as it is on your front page and change it to ../blog/ on all other pages.

   Hey Chris,

   Thanks for the help. It's really appreciated.

   Unfortunately, it's not working.

   When I insert the code into my child theme's function file, it only shows the header on the entire site. On the blog home page (davidakennedy.com/blog), the header is clickable, but sends users to this address: http://davidakennedy.com/blog/<br

   I can't figure out why the code isn't working, or why those extra letters are getting inserted into the address.

   Maybe it's conflicting with a plugin? Maybe I asked for what I needed in the wrong way?

   I am going to try to test it on my local machine to see what happens.

   Thanks again for the time and help!

   Sorry .. this was my fault! I used a function call that is not included in the latest Thematic release.

   Try:

   function remove_blogtitle() {
   	remove_action('thematic_header','thematic_blogtitle',3);
   }
   add_action('init', 'remove_blogtitle');
   
   function my_blogtitle() {
   	if (is_front_page()) {?>
   	<div id="blog-title"><span><a href="<?php bloginfo('url') ?>/" title="<?php bloginfo('name') ?>" rel="home"><?php bloginfo('name') ?></a></span></div>
   	<?php
   	} else { ?>
   	<div id="blog-title"><span><a href="<?php bloginfo('url') ?>/blog/" title="<?php bloginfo('name') ?>" rel="home"><?php bloginfo('name') ?></a></span></div>
   	<?php
   	}
   }
   add_action('thematic_header','my_blogtitle',3);
