[Sigia-l] log as link to home

[Amanda McGuire]

Actually, in usability testing I've conducted, I've
found that users did NOT understand the use of a logo
as a home link (which really surprised me).  While I
agree that this is becoming a standard, I would also
recommend having an alternate "Home" link available
somewhere in the navigation.
