Turning the Header Description into a link

[john gronley]

Hey can someone tell me how to turn the site description into a hyperlink and have it stay the color of the description instead of the link color? My customer wants the description to go to an interior page with lists of pickleball communities.

Thanks,

Try this John:

You will need to style it using CSS to change the default link color.

You could also remove this:

<p style="text-align: center;">

And use CSS instead.

Here's some sample CSS you can use or modify:

.custom-description a, a:visited {
    color: #000000;
    font-family: times new roman,'Oswald',arial,serif;
    font-size: 24px;
    font-weight: normal;
    margin: 0;
    text-align: center;
    text-shadow: 1px 1px 1px #070707;
}

I took out the padding:

padding: 5px 0 0 120px;

This was perfect.

If anyone needs to link the description to the homepage of their site, this is how I modified Brad's snippet:

//Link Site Description To Homepage--------------------------
remove_action( 'genesis_site_description', 'genesis_seo_site_description' );
add_action( 'genesis_site_description', 'custom_site_description' );
function custom_site_description() {
echo "<p id='description'><a href='" . get_bloginfo('url') . "'>" . get_bloginfo('description') . "</a></p>";
};

Thanks Brad!
