Filtering breadcrumb_trail the actual $trail

   Ok so the problem at hand is that I am trying to filter the way that the function breadcrumb_trail gets the home link...

   I know how to filter and add text or remove and also add shortcode but just can't get my head around this one

   I am already filtering the breadcrumb_trail to remove the Browse like so

   add_filter('breadcrumb_trail', 'creative_breadcrumb_trail');
   function creative_breadcrumb_trail($breadcrumb) {
   		$breadcrumb = str_replace('Browse:', '', $breadcrumb);
   		return $breadcrumb;
   }

   I would like to change
   Taken from around breadcrumb-trail.php line:67

   $trail[] = '<a href="' . get_bloginfo('url') . '" title="' . get_bloginfo( 'name' ) . '" rel="home" class="trail-begin">' . $show_home . '</a>';

   to

   $trail[] = '<a href="' . get_bloginfo('url', 'display') . '" title="' . get_bloginfo( 'name' ) . '" rel="home" class="trail-begin">' . $show_home . '</a>';

   something along the lines of

   add_filter('breadcrumb_trail', 'creative_breadcrumb_home_trail');
   function creative_breadcrumb_home_trail($trail) {
   		$trail = '<a href="'  . get_bloginfo('url', 'display') . '" title="' . get_bloginfo( 'name' ) . '" rel="home" class="trail-begin">' . $show_home . '</a>';
   		return $trail;
   }

   But obviously this does not work.....

   I have tried all sorts of gimmickry before posting here and wonder if anybody can help....

   and stop giggling :) You know who you r...

   Any help gratefully received as usual

   Ok just one small problem, when filtering out the Browse as I already am with this

   add_filter('breadcrumb_trail', 'creative_breadcrumb_trail');
   function creative_breadcrumb_trail($breadcrumb) {
   		$breadcrumb = str_replace('Browse:', '', $breadcrumb);
   		return $breadcrumb;
   }

   It does not validate without errors I would like to try to do is to remove the empty <span class="breadcrumb-title"></span> which is left in the breadcrumb
   so in all of my wisdom I thought I would try and hack the two together (your code from here creative_breadcrumb_home_trail plus my one ....

   but can't just quite get my head around it

   function creative_breadcrumb_home_trail( $trail ) {
   
   	$trail = preg_replace( "/<span class=\"breadcrumb-title\">Browse:/</span>/<a href=\".*?\" (.*?) rel=\"home\"/", '<a href="' . get_bloginfo( 'url', 'display' ) . '" $1 rel="home"', $trail );
   
   	return $trail;
   }

   Is this possible? or would I do better to keep them separate and remove the browse and its span in another way?
