How to give an imafe a h1 link in Freeway?

I noticed on a site the main logo image at the top of each page had a H1 link back to the home page, yet the site did not show the HTML text, only the logo.

Recognizing this might be a SEO friendly option how is this technique done in Freeway?

<div id="masthead">
  <div class="fixedwidth">
    <h1><a href="index.html" title="Company Name - My product">My product City, town</a></h1>
  </div>
</div>

CSS

h1 {text-indent: -9000px; height: 75px; width: 190px; position: absolute; top: 5px; background: url(../images/logo.jpg) no-repeat;}

h1 a {display:block; height: 75px; background: url(../images/logo.jpg) no-repeat;}

opps Sorry “Image” - when can we edit our mistakes on posts?

It’s an image replacement technique. I often use it for building menus
with graphic buttons. The text is there in the code but through CSS
has been moved 9000px to the left as to be invisible to the viewer.
this text is essential because it’s used to “hang” the image on.

As far as editing posts go, this is a mailing list first and foremost, so once you press send, it’s like any other mail message: you can add a follow-up, but once it’s sent, it’s sent. For the image replacement thing, I wrote an action a bunch of years ago.

You can’t. Many of us receive posts by email, so that just wouldn’t work.
Don’t worry though, nobody here holds typing mistakes against anyone. :slight_smile:

Is this action still working OK in FW5?

As far as I know. Give it a try, it should be fine. The only thing
it’s lacking is the ability to replace a header that’s linked. The
head is replaced, and the link is dropped on the floor.

Seems to work OK. I’ll see what Google thinks when it next comes round.

After looking round I found the following:

The Action obviously makes things easier.
