Hi, how can I make my header/logo a link to my homepage? Below is some sample code. The image I need to make into a link is in bold. Site: Chicago Web Design
image name: topBanner.jpg

<body>
<!-- top wrapper -->
<div id="topWrapper">
<div id="topBannerWrapper">
<div id="topBanner">
<div id="hmenuWrapper">
<div id="hmenu">
<ul>
<li id="current" style="border:none">
<a href="#" shape="rect">Home</a>
</li>
<li>
<a href="#" shape="rect">Services</a>
</li>

I don't think you want to link the entire topBanner DIV, just the logo. But since you used that as a background-image, you can't. Resize the image, to get rid of the empty space, and use the image as an inline element. Then you can turn it into a link.

Thanks for the help. Can you instruct me on how to use the image as an inline element and then link it?
Would you recommend even turning the logo into a link? As in, will it make a difference on search engines?
