Root is not a very user-friendly term for the home page in the breadcrumbs. DNN core team should add an attribute to change its text or just change it to Home.

Here is how we currently achieve this functionality:

in ~/Admin/Skins/Breadcrumb.ascx.vb:

Replace this:

If intRootLevel = -1 Then

                strBreadCrumbs += String.Format(Services.Localization.Localization.GetString("Root", Services.Localization.Localization.GetResourceFile(Me, MyFileName)), GetPortalDomainName(PortalSettings.PortalAlias.HTTPAlias, Request), strCssClass)

                strBreadCrumbs += strSeparator

                intRootLevel = 0

            End If

With this:

If intRootLevel = -1 Then

                strBreadCrumbs += String.Format(Services.Localization.Localization.GetString("Root", Services.Localization.Localization.GetResourceFile(Me, MyFileName)), GetPortalDomainName(PortalSettings.PortalAlias.HTTPAlias, Request), strCssClass)

                strBreadCrumbs = "<a href=""/"" class=""" & strCssClass & """>Home</a>"

                strBreadCrumbs += strSeparator

                intRootLevel = 0

            End If

You can see the difference is adding this line:

strBreadCrumbs = "<a href=""/"" class=""" & strCssClass & """>Home</a>"

I always forget about the language editor. That feature should get more visibility in module / skin object options

Just a quick little note like "change this text in Resources under "BreadCrumbs"" or something
