I have noticed many sites lately have changed your home page, once you "sign in", which seems to help keep the Home page current and relevant (enough to want to go back when you come back).
I just remembered one of the other reasons we added an explicit "home" link to our prime nav, and it's a great case of the tail wagging the dog. We participated in the NNg Intranet Design annual every year, and were dinged the year before for not having an explicit Home link (even tho our logo had always taken you home). We added it, in part, to appease the gods, so to speak. There are more than a few reasons why I don't work there anymore, but the above is one of the more interesting ones.

I like the "'home' on rollover" pattern. I generally hate the "tiny 'home' embedded in the logo" one. And in the interest of making things as clean as possible, I generally prefer to leave the "home" link off unless there's a compelling reason to have it. ________________________________________________________________ *Come to IxDA Interaction08 | Savannah* February 8-10, 2008 in Savannah, GA, USA Register today: http://interaction08.ixda.org/ ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
