Linking back to home page in wordpress

html wordpress hyperlink hierarchy file-structure

So I have WordPress installed in a subdirectory of my website with permalinks set up.

I have my website set up like so:

-index.php
-style.css
-/contact
---index.php
-/blog
---(Wordpress installation)

So my problem is, whenever I use an <a href="../">Home</a> to link back to my homepage, it only works from my main blog page. If I go to a permalink post it takes me back to the blog home.

What I'm wondering is, is there a way to link back to the main page on both my blog home, and a permalink post? If i use ../../ it works on the post, but not the blog home.

I hope I worded this clearly enough, if I missed anything please let me know. Any help greatly appreciated, thanks.
