    Default Need "HOME" button on each page.

    I have had a lot of people use a search engine and hit on one page. They don't know websites well enough to hit the 'top' button to go to the home page. I really need to add a 'Home' button to each page somewhere center or lower so they can know how to get to my main page. Is there any way to do that?
    Thanks so much.

    They might think that will take them to the top of the world. Seriously, I agree and I changed it on my site a long time ago.

    in english.php around 111 change to to Home
    define('HEADER_TITLE_CATALOG', 'Home');

    Whenever there is wording that you want to change look for it defined in languages/english and you can search for the word or wording you want to alter and it makes it easier to find. Getting some software to help you will make your life way easier in the long run. I got hooked on using "Dreamweaver" a long time ago.

    Honestly, I think you are over analyzing this (I constantly do this) and you're good with "Home". Flashing text can be done through CSS but is not recommended and not supported by all browsers. I tried big flashing red text for the "out of stock" message in the shopping cart and people still didn't always see that, so I had to make it more idiot proof.

    People know about the "Home" button and they will use it if your site interests them plus you have the categories menu right there and quick find. Some people just search a product on SEs and click on a bunch of the links that come up to see what's out there and get info.

    also, most people are well trained to "click on the store name" to get to the home page. So make sure that whatever image you use for the store name in the header is also a link to the root.
