Making Blog Title link to Blog URL in archive pages

You would have seen many blogs where when we can click on the title it will lead us to the homepage. This will work even if you are in the main page.

Blogger users could have faced this problem i.e. in the post pages the blog title can be clicked and it will lead to the blog home. But if you are in the archive page then you cannot come back to the blog home so easily. You need to search for “Current Posts” link, clicking on it will lead to blog home.

Instead of blogger working this way, why not make the blog title link to the blog home permanently whether you are in an archive page or in a post page. This can be achieved. Look at the Blog Title code below.

<div id="header">
<h1 id="blog-title">
<ItemPage><a href="<$BlogURL$>"></ItemPage>
<$BlogTitle$>
<ItemPage></a></ItemPage>
</h1>
<p id="description"><$BlogDescription$></p>
</div>

Usually it appears after the <body> tag. The code shows ItemPage four times. Remove the <ItemPage> and </ItemPage> from the code. The result would look like this.

<div id="header">
<h1 id="blog-title">
<a href="<$BlogURL$>">
<$BlogTitle$>
</a>
</h1>
<p id="description"><$BlogDescription$></p>
</div>

Republish entire blog once. The blog title is now clickable both in post and archive pages too. Be sure to backup the template before editing the source code.
