Replacing the getHomeLink in Magento - magento

Question

Can I just replace code <?php echo $this->getHomeLink() ?> in the header.phtml file copied below with http://ourdomainname.com?
Since our magento store is linked through navigation within our site, we want to use a link to our main domain in the header INSTEAD of using the store domain name.
Thanks for your help.
<div class="header-top">
<img src="<?php echo $this->getSkinUrl($this->__('images/logo.gif')) ?>” alt="<?php echo $this->__('Magento Logo') ?>” class="logo"/>
<div class="header-right">
<p class="super">
<?php echo $this->__("Logged in as %s", $this->getUser()->getUsername()) ?><span class="separator">|</span><?php echo $this->formatDate(null, 'full') ?><span class="separator">|</span><?php echo $this->__('Log Out') ?>
</p>
<?php if ( Mage::getSingleton('admin/session')->isAllowed('admin/global_search') ): ?>
<fieldset>
<legend>Search</legend>
<span id="global_search_indicator" class="autocomplete-indicator" style="display: none">
<img src="<?php echo $this->getSkinUrl('images/ajax-loader.gif') ?>” alt="<?php echo $this->__('Loading...') ?>” class="v-middle"/>
</span>
<?php $defSearch = $this->__('Global Record Search') ?>
<input id="global_search" name="query" type="text" class="input-text" value="<?php if(!empty($query)): ?><?php echo $query ?><?php else: ?><?php echo $defSearch ?><?php endif ?>” onfocus="if(this.value==’<?php echo $defSearch ?>’)this.value=’’; “ onblur="if(this.value==’’)this.value=’<?php echo $defSearch ?>’;” />
<div id="global_search_autocomplete" class="autocomplete"></div>
<script type="text/javascript\">
new Ajax.Autocompleter(
‘global_search’,
‘global_search_autocomplete’,
‘<?php echo $this->getUrl('*/index/globalSearch') ?>’,
{
paramName:"query",
minChars:2,
indicator:"global_search_indicator",
updateElement:getSelectionId,
evalJSON:’force’
}
);
function getSelectionId(li) {
location.href = li.getAttribute(’url’);
}
</script>
</fieldset>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
</div>

Of course you can. You can do whatever you want, you just need to live with the consequences of whatever action you take.
