# image href

 * I fondly imagined that having given an image an internal link in the Media Library
   description area would attach the hyperlink to it wherever I used the image. 
   Apparently not: I used such an image in a footer text widget and it published
   without its href.
 * So do I have to re-enter the href (linking to my home page) manually in the widget?
   If so, should it be inside the image tag or outside?
 * Thanks for any help.

 * You’ll have to add the hyperlink to the image manually in the text widget. It
   will go outside the image tag like this:
    `<a href="/"><img src="<path to your
   image>" width="" height="" alt="" title="" /></a>` Of course, you should include
   the width and height of the image in the image tag to speed loading, as well 
   as having the “alt” and “title” tags in there for SEO.

 * That did it. Thank you linux4me2.
 * I did go cross-eyed though as it took me three attempts to get all the tags/syntax
   in the right place, even though you gave me a perfect example – maybe I should
   try using a plugin next time.

 * I’m glad you got it working.
 * There’s a definite learning curve involved with HTML, but it’s worth learning.
   It’s like learning a new language.
