[W/K] :: home page

  home page n. 1. One's personal billboard on the World Wide Web. The
     term `home page' is perhaps a bit misleading because home directories
     and physical homes in RL are private, but home pages are designed to
     be very public. 2. By extension, a WWW repository for information and
     links related to a project or organization. Compare home box.
  
  

  home page
       
           1. The top-level entry point web page
          relating to an individual or institution, or possibly a
          subject area.  This often has a URL consisting of just a
          hostname, e.g. http://www.ncsa.uiuc.edu/.  All other pages
          on a web site are usually accessible by following links
          from the home page.
       
          2. The web page a user's web browser is configured to load
          each time it is started.  This will typically default to the
          home page (sense 1) of the organisation that produced or
          distributed the browser.
