Changing Blogger Title Link

In my previous post, I have showed you how you can change your Blogger header image's link. But in order to do this, you'd have to disable your blog's title. Some might not like the idea of having their titles removed just to make way for some links in their headers. Well, you don't have to remove your title to include a link in your header, as you already have your title linked. When you are not on your main page, your blog's title will be automatically linked, to itself of course. In this tutorial, you will learn how you can change this link to point elsewhere. And best of all, this link will appear on the main page itself. I have also added a quick step on how you can get your description linked as well.

Step 1:

If you're using the old Blogger interface: Go to Dashboard - Design - Edit HTML - Back Up (Download Full Template) - Check the box next to 'Expand Widget Templates'

If you're using the new Blogger interface: Go to Dashboard - Template - Backup/Restore - Download Full Template - Close -  Edit HTML - Proceed - Check the box next to 'Expand Widget Templates'

Find for the following line:

<b:include name='title'/>

There will be three places where you'd see this line. You have to make adjustments to all three of them.

The original line in place (all three of them):

Step 2:

Change all three lines to:

<a expr:href='"http://www.southernspeakers.net"' target='_blank'><b:include name='title'/></a>
_

Change the URL to that of yours. Do the same for all three. If you don't want your link to open in a new tab, remove this tag from the line: target='_blank'
Modified line in place (all three of them):

Step 3:

Repeat the same step if you want your description to be linked as well. Find for the following line:

<b:include name='description'/>

Change it to the following:

<a expr:href='"http://www.southernspeakers.net"' target='_blank'><b:include name='description'/></a>
_

There are 4 lines for description wrapper in total (unlike title wrapper, which had only 3).

It's just a matter of adding the right link format to your title and description. Have fun!
