Comment (by joedolson):

 Hi, @roytanck! Can you provide a citation for why there's a problem with
 having a link be the content of the site's H1 heading?

 In general, I'd be happy if the logo/link used the site's logo & linked to
 the site home page if the site's title and logo are set; but I'm not aware
 of any arguments that it isn't acceptable to have a link inside an H1
 element. The H1 should illustrate the primary subject of the page; but
 having a link within that H1 is not an issue that I'm aware of.

 As a note, the primary subject of this page is already fairly clear,
 particularly given that the entire content of the page consists of a
 couple of form fields and a couple of links. The topic is made clear in
 numerous ways, and the H1 is not particularly crucial to understand the
 purpose of the document.

 That said, I think that the clarity could be improved if the primary
 branding of the screen was associated with the site, rather than with
 WordPress, and that WordPress was secondary branding.
