    I'm trying to add a href to my own site in the footer from http://imaalautoservices.ie

    How do I add it into the footer ? I've no idea about php.

    the current code is
    <div id="footer">
    <div id="foot">
    <?php
    $options = get_option('themezee_options');
    if ( isset($options) and $options <> "" ) {
    echo esc_attr($options); }
    ?>

    </div>
    </div>
    </div>
    <?php wp_footer(); ?>


    If anyone has other ideas on the site please share them.
    thanks

    Just use HTML!

    <p>
    <a href="your link">This is the link description</a>
    </p>

    May work, but it's not correct. You should be using CSS and semantic coding. Google that and read a few articles on it, come back and ask questions if you need to.

    Edit: here's somewhere to start.

    Just go to footer.php file in your theme and add you href code in that.

    thanks folks.
    I got business bloomers mark up working.

    The semantic coding looks interesting. I'll take a look through it.

    Has anyone any ideas on how I might improve on the site ?

    your footer link is not working, its been directed to http://imaalautoservices.ie/dublinwebdesigns .

    There is also a small black square just above the home button in your header.

    You don't have any meta title on your page

    The gray frame around the text seems to be wider at the bottem that around the rest of the frame.

    Maybe thing about splitting car maint up into sub cat as there is a lot of txt there.

    Hope thhat helps

    thanks for all that. I've most of the changes made. I was thinking of a drop down menu for each section on the maintenance page....or would you have any other ideas on what I could do?
    I got the footer link fixed. I had to use <p align="right" font color="white">
    <a style="color:red" href="http://www.your link">This is the link description</a></font>
    </p>
    thanks for all the help :D

    You need to include http:// in the link, looks like you got it sorted anyway.

    e.g.

    <a href="http://www.dublinwebdesigns.com/&quot; ...>

    Completely OT, but your site is loading *very* slow and is given 500 errors.

    I would not be happy with your hosting provider (boards.ie policy prevents me from naming).

    Get an Irish/UK/EU server. A VPS solution will perform best.
