You should link to your website in your blog's header.

[edit] Oh I see now that there is in fact a link that says "Go back to main site"... well what I meant is that the logo should link back to main site.

View on HN

I agree. If click on an image that says "Double Robotics," I expect to go to the main site for Double Robotics, not its blog. The "Back to main site" link doesn't make sense to someone who arrived at the blog - going back to anything does not mean anything to me, because I started here. Many company blogs seem to have this behavior.

Thanks to you and cocoflunchy for the feedback; seems like a valid UX point to me. I'm still learning my way around this blogging platform software

In this case, I think the important question is, "What if a reader comes to our blog having never heard of us and our product(s) before?" This use case is, I think, more common that some assume, particularly when interesting blog posts get posted on forums like HN.

Was that just added? There is a link at the top.

For those that are keyboard challenged?

No, for those who are using an iPad which is on wheels. It might roll away before you can finish typing the URL ;)

Yes, well, an iPad on wheels is an idiotic idea in the first place. I never get why people seem to think that it's so difficult to copy a URL. Entitled generation of hipsters who can't deal with a missing a tag. :)

What do you care about more: proving a point about how lazy readers are, or making it more likely that people will read your things?
