Does anyone know if it's possible to include an image in the custom "Welcome" message that appears when you log into your Joomla site? I know how to edit the message, but I wanted to include my business logo there, too. I'm getting a broken image link icon and so I'm thinking this isn't possible but thought I'd ask anyway just to make sure.
Thanks in advance!

Not a bad alternative, although I was referring to the text of the Welcome message itself, so it would be visible at the top of the screen on the right-hand side within that message area.
When I create a custom HTML module for the admin template (and assign it to the cpanel position), it lets me insert an image just like I would for any other image inside a module. But when it displays, I get the broken image icon rather than the image itself.

Its not creating the correct path.This path is not accessable as its looking for
<img alt="clock" src="/images/stories/clock.jpg" width="150" height="112" />
/administrator/images/stories/clock.jpg
edit the module in html mode and two dots before the the first slash in the path.<img alt="clock" src="../images/stories/clock.jpg" width="150" height="112" />
Will work now. - Kiss my RSS

Thanks, Adam. Just to be crystal clear that I'm understanding your correctly, instead of:
<img src="images/header.png" width="500" height="142" alt="header" />
I should use
<img src="...images/header.png" width="500" height="142" alt="header" />
I tried that and it still doesn't work. ? I even uploaded the image to the administrator/images folder and played around with the code but I still get the broken image icon when I view the main Control Panel page.
It's not a huge deal. It just seems like it should be possible (and easy!) and it's not.
**UPDATE**
Wait! Looks like it finally *is* working. Here's the code that finally got it to appear, although I did this yesterday and it didn't. Not sure why...
<img alt="header" height="142" width="500" src="images/header.png" />
Thanks, everyone.
Melanie

- The key was putting the image in the administrator/image folder.

You didnt have to, you could have just added the dots and loaded the image from the root dir.
By Changing<img src="images/header.png" width="500" height="142" alt="header" />
To<img src="../images/header.png" width="500" height="142" alt="header" />
If you have ../ before a path it will always begin at the root address ( www.yoursite.com/ ) - Kiss my RSS
