home link

**Percept** · 05-28-2003, 03:00 AM

It's not really that important but I'm used to clicking the logo ( usually in the top left corner ) to return to the homepage.
Any chance you could link the logo to the homepage Chris besides the allready existing home-button ?

Not at this time no.

There are SEO reasons behind the current linking scheme, I don't want to toy with it just yet.

Ok np.

May I ask what the reasons behind this are? I would think having two buttons for getting to index are better (two alt descriptions) or am I missing something?

For the time being I only want 1 homepage link, that is a text link on the menu. The Home tab up at the top is not a true link.

But why is it better to have one link than two or three links?

Cause that way I can control the text of the home link. Alt attributes aren't the same as a good text link. Right now the text link just says "Home" but that may change in the future.

I don't like logos being links to the homepage... Not sure why, it just doesn't seem professional. Chris' way of the tab is good. Don't change it...

You may not like it

but that doesn't change the fact that a lot of people use it since most websites do link it back to the indexpage.
It's a usuabillity thingy.
