Regardless: so what if a website doesn’t have a home link. It’s a tumblelog.

i must say, i completely disagree here. a blog, above any kind of static site, should have a VERY easy-to-find home link. it is absolutely necessary, and crippling to omit.

this is because many, many blogs bring in traffic through a linked post [permalink] and if you want any chance of someone looking at, subscribing to, or promoting your blog- you damn well want them to be able to find the homepage with ease.

also: assume not everyone is so savvy as to modify the URL to bring them to the main page. and, assume people really don’t give enough of a shit to do that at all.
