# Text Entry for Home – Joomla 3 Breadcrumb settings

In our last article, we showed you [how to remove *“Home”* from your Joomla 3 breadcrumbs](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/edu/joomla/joomla-3/show-home/). If you wanted to keep *“Home”* but change the text to something else, you can. For example, you can have *“Blog”* show instead of *“Home”* in your breadcrumbs.

One of the Joomla 3 [breadcrumb settings](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/edu/joomla/joomla-3/text-for-home-entry/), *Text for Home Entry*, allows you to change the *home* text. This setting is defined by Joomla as follows:

**Text for Home Entry**

*This text will be shown as Home entry. If the field is left empty, it will use the default value from the mod_breadcrumbs.ini [language file](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/edu/joomla/joomla-3/language-files/)*

**To change the “Home” text in your breadcrumbs:**

1. [Log into your Joomla 3 dashboard](/support/edu/joomla/how-to-log-in-to-administrative-dashboard/)
2. In the top menu, click **Extensions** and then click **Module Manager**
3. Find and click on your *breadcrumbs* module
4. Find the *Text for Home Entry* setting. Depending on your Joomla version, it should be under either the *Module* tab or the *Basic Settings* tab. Enter a new value for *Text for Home Entry*, and then click the **Save** button at the top of the page. In our testing, we entered *blog*. You can see in the screenshots below how this changed our breadcrumbs: Text for Home Entry left blank [![Text for Home Entry is Blank](/support/images/stories/edu/joomla-3/breadcrumbs/text-for-home-entry-left-blank.png)](/support/images/stories/edu/joomla-3/breadcrumbs/text-for-home-entry-left-blank.png) Text for Home Entry set as “Blog” [![Text for Home Entry is Blog](/support/images/stories/edu/joomla-3/breadcrumbs/text-for-home-entry-set-as-blog.png)](/support/images/stories/edu/joomla-3/breadcrumbs/text-for-home-entry-set-as-blog.png)
