Technology is…

…dangerous. I’ve spent much of my life living by the following assumption: “The methods may change, but the message never will.” Unfortunately, this is false. No technology is neutral. Every technology will change you, no matter what you use it to say. Too often we presume to know what a technology will do to use in the church, and too often we accept technology without proper thought. Technology can be leveraged to great heights, but never without change in our message…and never without change in us.

Help with header link…

So if you’ve ever noticed on my site, when I modified the template for my uses I’m unable to click the header to load the homepage anymore. I’m really new to PHP so I can’t figure out how to get that to work.

Here’s the code I’m using in the header to display the image (and the search box):

<div class=”logohead”><?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/searchform.php’); ?>

Here’s the code for class logohead:

.logohead{

margin: 0px 0 0 0;

padding: 5px 0 0 20px;

width:978px;

height:100px;

background: url(images/logoHEADER3.png)no-repeat;

border:1px solid #fff; }

So that’s it guys. How can I take that code and make it a link to the homepage of my site?
