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.

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'

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

<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).
