   Hi there, I'm new to WordPress and Thematic, but liking it a lot so far. I'm struggling with adding the home button to the main navigation bar. I've looked through the tutorials and forum posts on it and it looks like I should have everything I need, but it is still not working. Maybe I missed something... here's the code from my functions.php file in my child theme:

   <?php
   // Adds Home link to navigation
   function sample_menu() {
       $menu = '<div id="menu"><ul>';
       if ( is_home() ) {
           $menu .= '<li class="current_page_item"><a href="';
       }
       else {
            $menu .= '<li><a href="';
       }
       $menu .= get_option('home') . '/" title="Home">Home</a></li>';
       $menu .= str_replace( array( "\r", "\n", "\t" ), '', wp_list_pages('title_li=&sort_column=menu_order&echo=0') );
       $menu .= "</ul></div>\n";
       echo $menu;
   }
   add_filter('globalnav_menu', 'sample_menu' );
   ?>

   Any ideas? Thanks in advance for the help.

   Change
   "add_filter('globalnav_menu', 'sample_menu' ); "
   in
   "add_filter('wp_page_menu', 'sample_menu' ); "

   that works fine !

   Anthrax - thanks much that added the Home button to the menu. I noticed that when I made the change it removed all stylings for the menu class, because in the functions.php code, the div has id=menu rather than class=menu. I corrected the code and it works great now! Here's the updated code for those interested:
   

   <?php
   // Adds Home link to navgation
   function sample_menu() {
       $menu = '<div class="menu"><ul>';
       if ( is_home() ) {
           $menu .= '<li class="current_page_item"><a href="';
       }
       else {
            $menu .= '<li><a href="';
       }
       $menu .= get_option('home') . '/" title="Home">Home</a></li>';
       $menu .= str_replace( array( "\r", "\n", "\t" ), '', wp_list_pages('title_li=&sort_column=menu_order&echo=0') );
       $menu .= "</ul></div>\n";
       echo $menu;
   }
   add_filter('wp_page_menu', 'sample_menu' );
   
   ?>
