1. Serendipity in the root of the site
Out of the box, Serendipity installs in
www.xxxx.xxx/serendipity. I want to have it on my homepage, i.e.
www.searchbistro.com What do I change (and where) to fix this?
2. Changing logo
Can I replace the text header by a image?

1. Either reinstall serendipity into the root of the site. Or your a .htaccess forward mechanism. Please check/search the forums, it has often been addressed.
2. Yes you can do that. Either edit the index.tpl file of the template or just upload a different image in place. Of course it would help if you tell which template you are using

Sure:
1. Copy the file "index.tpl" from templates/default/ to templates/blue/
2. Edit the file index.tpl.
3. Search the part
Code: Select all
<div id="serendipity_banner">
<h1><a class="homelink1" href="{$serendipityBaseURL}">{$head_title|@default:$blogTitle}</a></h1>
<h2><a class="homelink2" href="{$serendipityBaseURL}">{$head_subtitle|@default:$blogDescription}</a></h2>
</div>
4. Replace that with:
Code: Select all
<div id="serendipity_banner">
<a href="{$serendipityBaseURL}"><img src="/path/to/your/image.png" /></a>
</div>
5. Save the file.
6. Reload your blog and be happy *g*
Hope that helps, if not just ask for more :-)
HTH,
