Adding a link to the header navigation bar

[adell50]

I would like to add a link , just a plain old link, to my navigation bar. I found your article about adding a forum to one's blog on this forum, but cannot seem to decipher it for my application.

I would like the link to be adjacent to the "About" link.

My blog can be found at http://blog.internetce.com

Any ideas?

Any help is a big help!

Edit header.php and add this:

<li><a href="http://www.google.com">Google</a></li> 

before this:

<li class="rss"><a href="<?php bloginfo('rss2_url'); ?>">RSS</a></li>

Replace http://www.google.com with the URL you want and Google with the text of the link.

Would this work for a google adsense search box as well?
Thanks!

Well, I answered my own question. It in fact, does work!

I haven't tried it, but good to know! You just need some special formatting I guess.

I currently have my rss feed and search box in the header and would like to add a link to my twitter feed.

Any ideas?

Many thanks!

Follow the same steps I already gave you in this thread

And change "google" to "twitter".

OK - so this is great, thanks.

I have added a link to my Twitter account and have attached a little icon but I can't seem to get it to sit on the right side of the nav bar, next to the RSS icon.

take a look - http://www.festivalstyle.com

How do I shift it to the right?

ultimately I would want to add a few icons on the right hand side.

Many thanks in advance for your help.

In header.php add classes to your list items like so:

<li class="socialmedia"><a href="http://twitter.com/festivalstyle">Twitter</a></li>
<li class="socialmedia"><a href="http://facebook.com/festivalstyle">Facebook</a></li> 

In style.css add this (somewhere after ul#nav li.rss):

ul#nav li.socialmedia {
float: right;
padding: 0.85em 0 0.7em 20px;
margin-right: 5px;
}

To KEEP the RSS link to the rightmost side of the nav bar, move it up the list, right before where your social media links begin. And try changing the padding in ul#nav li.rss to padding: 0.85em 0 0.7em 20px; to give it spacing.

OK - so this is great, thanks.

Thanks so much for the help, you have saved me days of head scratching.

If I wanted to replace all of the with three larger icons - perhaps 25px- how would I do this.

I have tried to add in some icons but I think you will agree that it looks pretty shoddy.
