    If you don’t want to go to the HTML editor, you can select the link (double-click on it) in the visual editor, and then click on the “link” button (looks like three chain links) in the TinyMCE editor. This window will pop up:

    Click on the box that says “Open link in new tab” and then “Update”

    You can also try this post from a while ago:

    https://forum.graphene-theme.com/graphene-support/how-can-i-add-adsense-to-the-background-image-1

    That will help you style it, using Josh’s suggestion.

    Well, this one wasn’t an image, but a bit of code I forgot to include between backticks. So it’s me, not you. (I fixed it.)

    BTW, I’m not going nuts; I’ve been there for some time.

    But can you really not see the one image I posted on this forum? Weird.

    That script from Matt is another one I have used before and it works like a charm. You can literally put the images anywhere on your website, so long as you call them properly. Matt suggests:

    <img src="/dropbox/2003/rotate/rotate.php" alt="A Random Image" />

    Just drop the script into the same folder with the header images, and call the script instead of a header image. I know, it seems weird to call a script where you would think to call an image, but it works. Just try reloading the page from Matt that you provided.

    This is the part I missed:

    telling me to put this code into the theme files

    So this could be accomplished with an action hook, or action hook widget, I presume.

    So long as those posts are assigned to the category “blog”, my suggestion above should work, but will take a bit of tweaking, because it will also need to knock out the regular PHP call to the standard header image. That’s the challenging bit. So, a bit more work than I had originally imagined. But not impossible.

    Well, this is how I do it:

    http://www.kjodle.net — just regular HTML, CSS, and enough PHP to confuse myself (and ignored for far too long)

    blog.kjodle.net — my personal blog

    bookblog.kjodle.net — my book blog

    science.kjodle.net — my science blog (also ignored)

    That setup requires three separate Graphene installations, one in each of those three subdomains. And you’re right, it’s a bit of a pain, because I have to update things three things, and when I find a good plugin I have to install it three times, and when I do eventually go back and work on my science blog, it’s going to be like working on a blog from the 1950’s because everything will be so out-of-date.

    However…….

    You could create a separate category just for blog posts (“blog” maybe?) and then (this is where my great plan breaks down) figure out some way to make just those posts appear on the blog page. I could swear I’ve seen this done somewhere, but for the life of me….

    Add position:absolute; to your #footer id in your child theme stylesheet. You may have to further refine its position. See this page for a bit more help with that.
