Placing logo

I have read the previous replies to LeeAnn regarding logo uploading into liquid. And they are incomprehensible to me. This is my logo location after uploading it to assets: http://the-hroost.myshopify.com/admin/design/appearance/asset/idea1aa_dot_JPG

WHERE do I change the code and place my logo link?

your logo location is actually http://the-hroost.myshopify.com/files/shops/0000/9011/assets/idea1aa.JPG

To add it to the layout, under admin click on the look and feel link and then click on theme.liquid.

This will bring up an edit box with the code from theme.liquid.

In there you want to find this code


<h1><a href="/">{{shop.name}}</a></h1>

and change it too something like this


<h1><a href="/"><img src="http://the-hroost.myshopify.com/files/shops/0000/9011/assets/idea1aa.JPG"  alt="The Hroost" title="The Hroost" /></a></h1>

you can play around with the image size so it fits in the header by adding

height="30" or width="125"

inside the above image tag.

Worked beautifully…but bear with my incomprehension: the address I provided is what was shown in “properties” and also opening it in another browser. Where did the address you provided come from (where would I have found that?) Thanks, chele

Chele,

The address you gave is for viewing assets in the admin interface.

The address in my example was found by looking at the source code from your index page and finding your path to your assets folder in the stylesheet link.

What the Shopify guys really recommended is you use liquid for all paths to assets. For instance,


<img src="{{ 'logo.jpg' | asset_url }}" ..etc.. />

It would probably be better if you switched to liquid for the path. This way if the path changes for some reason, you won’t have broken images.
