Inuit Types has no HOME link on the separate article pages
-
Holy smoke… I just noticed something about my Inuit Types. When someone clicks onto an article and reads that article, there is no HOME/HOME PAGE link to click! Will people be experienced enough to click onto the NAME OF THE BLOG to get to Home Page? Well….. I can only tell you that for a while in the past I never knew that doing so would get me there. Some things are just not self-evident, although with experience that now I click absolutely everything in sight just to make sure I’m not missing anything. :-)

No there is no Home Tab but you can easily make one. Create a static page and where the title field is do not enter a title instead enter this link
<a href="http://lornakismet.wordpress.com">Home </a>
The result will be just a Page tab – not actual page and when clicked it will return visitors to the front page. -
You can also use the custom menu feature and build your own menu which includes a home link if you wish.

@tsp- No Custom Menu for Inuit Types as of this writing and @tt the workaround leads to trouble. Been there, done that, finally deleted it from my photoblog using Inuit Types.

Ok, after reading Jennifer’s precautionary note there :-) I have decided to just throw my arms up into the air (and then let them fall down again) :-)
So there is no solution? Ok. When I know that there is no solution I just let it go,but I appreciate Timethief’s and Sacred Path’s helpfulness.
My memory is not what it used to be; I hope that I don’t go asking this question again in nine weeks……….. 8-(

@Lorna: No trouble – at least no trouble so far: lots of users are using this workaround. But if you want to be extra cautious, you can simply put a link to your homepage in a text widget. In that case you can use html to style the link anyway you like (large, colored, bordered, whatever).
-
@Panos, the workaround link in the navbar kept disintegrating on me every time I edited the original Post which was linked, which is why I finally removed it from the navbar.I was too hasty in my assumption that this would be a problem in Lorna’s circumstance. My apologies to you both.
Eventually Staff will update Inuit Types to use the Custom menu in the navbar (hopefully soon), but meantime one can also create and use a Custom Menu in the special widget. I’ve done that as well.
-
@Jennifer: Ah yes, the Custom Menu widget – didn’t think of that!
(I’m aware of the problem you had with that workaround, but it cannot happen with a link to the blog front. The real problem is the other problem – you know, divine intervention…)
@Lorna: In case you’re not familiar with it: you go to Appearance>Menus, paste the URL of your blog into the URL field, type Home into the Label field (in the Custom Links module), click Add to Menu, click Save Menu; then you go to Appearance>Widgets and drag the Custom Menu widget to Sidebar.
-
Drawback: in contrast to the text widget, you can’t style the Custom Menu link (except making it bold or such).
-
Ok good news for me then! So the workaround that Timethief proposed is ok? Or so far you think it is ok? This was it:
And I think I would rather stick the HOME tab in a Page tab at the top of my page rather than in the Sidebar. Just a matter of eyeball preference.
Thank you all of you. Jennifer, thank you for being cautious for me!!!! :-)

OH….. I just now see that what Timethief wrote out for me looks like. :-)
Well, what she wrote was: (Home ) everything inside the parentheses.
But how could I make that all capital letters? And by the way, I am slowly learning basic, elementary school HTML just by dealing with this kind of thing.

Oh heheh. I just now see that to get it all in caps I just need to retype it in caps in the Subject field. Hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh,,,,,,,,,,,,,

@ jarch, we can’t give you any help without a link to your blog. The method Timethief mentions has worked in literally thousands of blogs here.
