Any help much appreciated.

If I understand what you mean by the common use of "Blank" in this instance meaning to open this in a new window the followwing is the std form:

<a HREF="your_link.???" TARGET="_blank">Your Link Name</a>

in includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/logo_sidebox_defines.php

find:

define('LOGO_SIDEBOX_LINK', 'http://your_link.com/');

You can then add you link.

save the file and upload to your server.

OK, Clyde - What am I missing here? My logo_sidebox is operating but I can't seem to make the link active. Here's my logo_sidebox_defines.php:

Have followed Clyde Jones advice and successfully added a sidebox with a logo...
one question...
what is the additional code/how do I center the logo within the sidebox?

My featured products (always three) are in a sidebox under that heading.

I can only fit two not three... how can I make the sidebox higher?? I thought they were dynamic?

This thread is specific to the logo sidebox and not the default sideboxes that are included with Zen Cart.

I don't see a "Featured Products" sidebox at the link you provided.

I do see a "specials" sidebox.
