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.
