[theme-reviewers] get_option('home') bloginfo('url') and home_url()

[Chip Bennett]

Ah, I get it. :)

IMO (and others more expert might have good reason to disagree), anytime a *
get_X()* or *get_bloginfo( 'X' )* function exists, *get_option( 'X'
)*should not be used. It would seem that using the variable explicitly
defined
for 'X' is the safer/preferred route.

Thoughts?
