Hey, i installed a style on my wordpress blog and am wondering if this is possible, im not good with others code. At the top there is a black section that horizontally lists the categories what im looking to do is float a div to the right of that with an image link.
What Derokorian says is more or less right, but you need to find the .php file that is used to construct that portion of the page, commonly the header.php file.
You probably need a FTP program so that you can view all the files in the WP application so you can find the header.php file.
Typically it will be
Code:
blog root folder
wp-content
themes
name of your theme
header.php
yeah sorry i coulnd't point you to the file to add that to, but I've never used wordpress, i just saw what to add based on the output it generates heh.
unfortunatly it doesnt work adding the code in, for some reason even with the correct image path the image doesnt show and it skews the layout, the logo goes higher.
Well you have to remember that WP is taking a bunch of php files and using them to build the page. So what might appear as the correct path to the image, most likely is not, since the theme is buried a number of folder layers deep but is displayed in the root level of the blog.
When adding in your own images or videos, you might want to create a special "images" folder in the root level and when accessing those images, use the absolute address to the folder/image. The image WILL show.
If the layout changes, it's because of the styling applied to that <div> or <div>s. A themes styles sheet is in the same folder as the header.php, usually named style.css.
Open that up and add, change the CSS styles as needed. You can get the logo to display just as you want it... it may take a little trial and error but it will work.

Well the absolute path would include http://www.yoursite.com/your_special...image_name.jpg
The layout will need to be corrected in the style.css file for the class
class="catmenu"
Put the image and link back in the then comment it out
so we can actually see what the code looks like. If it's not there, it's pretty tough to figure out how to fix it.

view the source code, look for
Code:
<div id="header" role="banner">
for an example of using an image as a link in a WP Blog.
Of course you still need to style it, but first get it to display.

The reason absolute pass should start at http: for this is because starting with a folder name or backslash makes it relative to the parent calling script, which may or may not be the path you expect. If you can type in your browser window http://www.mydomain.com/path/to/image.jpg and see your picture that's the path you want to use (at least to get it working). Then you can try to figure out the path relative to the calling script if you like, personally I always use absolute paths for images and style sheets.
Typically for static sites a relative address works just fine, but if you are new to WP, trying to accurately path the dynamic address can be a little challenging... so the short-cut is to use absolute..

Using the absolute address for a custom photo in WP WILL get that image to display.
