The docs for the template have all you need to know. Very few Joomla templates would require you to modify php files to change a logo, and you can't change a link with CSS.

There are 2 ways of changing your website logo. Overriding existing logo.png located in site_root/templates/template_name/images/style_name/ folder or uploading new logo trough template manager.

Option 1:

Now replace existing logo.png file name in site_root/templates/template_name/images/style_name folder with new logo....

Option 2:

Go to template manager tab name Layout hover over existing logo than click on tool icon the logo settings panel will drop down. Click on Select button and select or upload your new logo....

To answer your question

This is a CSS file and isn't any help if you want to change the default home page link.

A couple of ideas for you.

If you know how to work with jQuery, or if your template lets you add your own custom jQuery, you could try

$('#logo a').attr('href', 'http://www.alternate-link.com');  

This will overwrite the home page link with http://www.alternate-link.com

Alternatively, you could open the template > youretro > index.php file, locate the HTML for the header and then the logo link. You might be able to manually change this HREF. You can also do this via the backend from Extenstions > Template manager > templates tab > Template > Edit main page template.

Not that if you do either of the second options, there's the risk that your customisation will be overwritten if you update the template.

Good luck!
