Make Blog title a Link on Child Theme

Hello,

I have researched this and come up how to do this on several themes but I don’t know how to make the Blog Title a link to the site root on the SPORTY WP theme.

See make a blog title a link

In the header.php in my theme Sporty WP, I see the get_bloginfo(‘name’); command but I don’t know how to write the php to make it so it gets the blog name and links it to the site url. Here is the code…

<?php } ?>
        <!-- HEADER -->
        <header id="header">
            <div class="logo">
                <?php $headerimage = get_header_image(); ?>
                <?php $headertext = get_bloginfo('name'); ?>
                <?php $headerhide = get_option('sporty_headerhide'); ?>
                <?php echo '<img src="' . $headerimage . '" alt="' . $headertext . '" />'; ?>
                <?php if ($headerhide != "true") { ?>
                <span><?php echo $headertext; ?></span>
                <?php } ?>
            </div>
        </header>

I know that I have to change the $headertext command to something like…

<a href="<?php echo home_url('/'); ?>"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a>

but I don’t know how to do it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Netivity
