Keep in mind who you expect to look at your home page and what sort of information they will want. While it might be amusing to dedicate a good deal of space to an inventory of what's in your desk, people who are looking for something more useful in your home page may get frustrated and wonder why you have so much time on your hands. Remember that your home page need not be your only page. It can simply contain some basic information with links to as many other pages as you'd like to create. In this manner, visitors to your home page can quickly locate what they need when you include an extensive array of information, such as a selected list of your publications, syllabi from classes you teach, and, if you want to show off, a list of every compact disc you own.
Further subdivisions deal with the depth of information to provide.
Suggestions are also made as to what belongs on your main home page and what should be a separate page linked from the home page. Again, this is all very subjective, and I welcome your comments and suggestions. This is where you can let loose and show everyone the other side of your personality. The content and depth of personal information you should include depend on how much time you have and how interested you are in revealing this information. You could put in a list of links pointing to Web pages for your favorite hobby, like sports or cooking.
