I need a link that will bring readers back to the "homepage".... I don't see a way to make the banner do that, and am not sure how to make a link on the navigation bar that will do so. I don't think this theme was coded to include "home", only "about" which I changed. I want readers to be able to click on something when they're on another page to get back to home...not just click back though every page they've been to.
The blog I need help with is freerangefarmtruck.wordpress.com.
http://poundsweet.wordpress.com/ (linked to your name) has both a home tab and a clickable header (Coreline theme) so you must be talking about a different blog.
Please post a link starting with http://
Same is the problem here with my blog.
I think there are some themes which dont show home page icon.
@itspak1
Your blog does not have "a problem". Just to be clear on this whether or not the theme you use provides a Home link this is your home page http://itspak.wordpress.com/ It is where your posts not pages are displayed unless your choose to create a static front page. All visitors clicking the blog title are returned to that Home page.
If any blogger who has a theme that does not have a Home link provided by the theme wants to create one then what they do is create a custom menu and include a custom Home page link in it.
Home should i include it in this way? i mean to custom home page link
your suggestions have puzzled me.
Thanks for your response.
Its 1:00 am here, will see it tomorrow. TC
Some themes display a Home tab in their default top menu and some don't - see here:

For those that don't, you need to create and load a custom top menu, as timethief already said.
And no, you don't add the Home tab via link coding. To create a custom menu you go to Appearance>Menus; clicking "View All" in the Pages module will reveal a ready-made Home link.
@panaghiotisadam
Hi again, I did exactly what you told me. Appearance>menu>pages to view all, Homepage was there as custom page and when i selected it, it was gone to the Menu, I just saved the menu. But Homepage link still not there. Whats wrong with it now? I'm frustrated for this tiny task not to be done.
In the custom menu, add the link http://itspak.wordpress.com/ and call it Home.
Nice looking blog, btw.
@rain (and TT): you don't need to do that.
@itspak1: I didn't mention everything you needed to do, because I wrote "you need to create and load a custom top menu, as timethief already said"; it's not my fault if you didn't bother to check the instructions timethief had taken care to link to.
Anyway, since you didn't bother to do that, here are my own (complete) instructions:
• Go to Appearance>Menus.
• Click the cross to create a menu, give it a name (for instance "my top menu"), click Create Menu.
• Click View All in the Pages module, tick Home, tick the rest of your pages, click Add to Menu.
• Click Save Menu once the pages have been added.
• Select that menu from the pulldown in the Theme Locations module, click Save.
Thanks raincoaster,
I just created a menu containing pages, categories homepage link. How do i set this menu as default.
The instructions timethief has linked to include the answer to this. The reply I posted above also includes the answer to this, IN ITALICS:
Select that menu from the pulldown in the Theme Locations module, click Save.
I knew that how to create a menu but the thing i was missing is in Italics.
Thanks to panaghiots
Timethief and raincoaster were telling me a totally different thing.
I asked that question that how to add it default b/c i didn't see your post before, and posted without refreshing it sorry my fault. However thanks again its working now.

Say what?
As panaghiotisadam said:

And before that, panaghiotisadam said:

Absolutely no difference re how to create and load a menu: the only difference is that I suggested an easier way for the Home tab in particular.
And this earned me a thumb down:

1. Thumbs down for those who do not search before posting threads.
2. Thumbs down for those who do not read documentation and instructions carefully.
3. Thumbs down for those who fail on the first two points above and have the audacity to click a thumbs down on an informative related post.
I'm sorry Timethief and panaghiotisadam. I wanna back my words.
Yet it was not my fault altogether. TT's link told me how to create a static page which was not the one i was searching for.
TT's original reply said "If any blogger who has a theme that does not have a Home link provided by the theme wants to create one then what they do is create a custom menu" - "custom menu" being a link to the Support doc on menus.
