I am using the carbon theme, but I guess it is universal: I have read all the forum posts related to this question of adding a link to the breadcrumb to provide a return to my main site, but I cannot find any detail which refers to breadcrumb.tpl which looks like the one I have (3.3). This one, for example:

http://gallery.menalto.com/node/78116

does not help, I assume because I have Revision: 17592

Can someone point me to instructions for doing this?

No I don't - I have 17159. Theme.tpl is 17592. What I want to do is add it to the breadcrumb, as few people would click the logo.

There's this really old mod:

But that's pretty old and may be out of date.

BreadCrumb.tpl is located at /modules/core/templates/blocks/BreadCrumb.tpl so you should be able to edit that and get the link you want.

Yes, I have tried inserting a link in there above the breadcrumb, but it won't appear. I really can't make sense of how to use the "{g->url", so it may be due to that omission.

Don't worry about the {g->url smarty markup stuff. Just use plain HTML

<a href="http://www.example.com/">home</a>

Make sure you're following this guide to create a local directory:
http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery2:Editing_Templates

Also try clearing Gallery's cache after making the changes:
FAQ: How can I clear cached data?

Got it working. Not sure why...

<div class="{$class}">
<a href="/" class="BreadCrumb-1">Home</a>

works well enough. Thanks for your thoughts.
