[IxDA Discuss] "home" links

[Nathan Philpot]

According to this article by Jacob Nielson, the Home button is still
needed.
A fairly large minority of users still don't know that they can get
to a site's homepage by clicking its logo, so I still have to
recommend having an explicit "home" link on all interior pages (not
on the homepage, of course, because no-op links that point to the
current page are confusing %u2014 yet another guideline we saw
confirmed again several times last week). It particularly irks me to
have to retain the "explicit home link" guideline, because I had
hoped to get rid of this stupid extra link. But many users really do
change very slowly, so we'll probably have to keep this guideline in
force until 2020 %u2014 maybe longer. At least breadcrumbs are a
simple way to satisfy this need.
