The home page should point to other documents, demos, images, and whatever else you want to point to. Those items probably should not reside in your home directory, they should be stored in the general Web tree. Ask your supervisor about what directories you should use to publish your information. Everyone with an NCSA AFS login may have a home page. You may have pictures of your cat and whatever else you want in this directory.
Many people already have a home page.
These people can simply copy their home page to the new directory and it will be available to the public. If you do not have a home page and want to learn how to make one, check the NCSA Beginner's Guide to HTML . The guide provides basic information about HTML and gets you started on creating a home page. When using the search engine, your page will be immediately available. It will take up to 24 hours before your new page appears as a link in the indices.
