I'm sure this has been answered a few hundred times. I'm sorry for anyone that reads this and wants to beat up there monitor.

All I want to do is have ZP link back to my homepage with a image (logo) in the upper left hand corner. Maybe I'm over thinking this, I've looked through the forums, looked at other sites and still seam to be missing something.

once you click on the gallery button in my index.html called "pics around" it calls up Zen's index.php fine. I just need to place a logo to go back to the homepage with out using the browsers back button.

Feel free to yell at me for something so simple (I tried)

If your theme does not support the home page link which you can set on Options > Gallery you will have to modify your theme by adding either a hardcoded link or this function which uses the option: http://www.zenphoto.org/documentation/functions/_template-functions.php.html#functionprintHomeLink
