Adding links to header menu--Logo.gif link

1. I would like to add some links to the top header menu...not the e-z page but the menu at the very top where it says Home Login...if it is in template/common/tpl_header.php then I must be doing something wrong cause I added:
    |&nbsp<a href="YOUR LINK HERE">Link Text Here</a>
   but it didn't work...

PLUS...2. where do you change the link that the logo.gif is linked to; I want to change the url..
Thanks!

tpl_header.php is the correct file: here is a sample: adding create account

?>
    <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_LOGIN, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_LOGIN; ?></a></li>
    <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_LOGIN, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CREATE_ACCOUNT; ?></a></li>
<?php } } ?>

You need to also add a defines for the new term and can use the developers tools in your admin to find one that exists and which files it is listed in.

To change te logo reference > in a copy to your template of the html_header.php find this entry and change the href

<base href="<?php echo (($request_type == 'SSL') ? HTTPS_SERVER . DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG : HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG ); ?>" />

I know there are many requets, but this would be a nice standard option for an EZ-page link.

In the first part, I don't understand this:
You need to also add a defines for the new term and can use the developers tools in your admin to find one that exists and which files it is listed in.

In the 2nd part, I have changed to a url 5 different ways and none of them do anything but mess up the cart....

what am I doing wrong?

Yes, I would like to know the answer to this also. I am trying to make the URL go to the embedded links within the logo.gif file. How do I do that?

... make your lives simple, use an <a href>
