Hi, interestingly, one of my testers who uses a screen reader recently
suggested taking the link off the logo in the head mast and the reasons
made sense
* the img alt text read 'logo' but the link went to home
* there was already a clear text link to home on the site, so this meant
a second link to the same destination but called something different
Cheers,
Sandra.

It's one of those design conventions that doesn't impact on the visual
design of a page at all, but definitely does effect the user experience. I
do think users are 'learning' to expect this type of functionality and I
can't think of a reason why you wouldn't implement it.

John:
We have had a few small projects where we did not link back to home
via the logo. In each of the usability tests, the users overwhelmingly
tried clicking on the logo to return home and were very frustrated
when the could not click.
So, based from practical usability experience, I am going to have to
say the logo should be linked.
Cheers,
Justin
