I've seen it used to refer to > basically anything... I think it is not so much that it can refer to anything as it refers to different things in different contexts. 1) A homepage as the top level 'entrance page' to a web site (http://www.myserver.com/ or http://www.myserviceprovider.com/~myaccount/). Homepage in this context is the idea of a 'homebase page' or place to begin from and perhaps to return to. 2) A homepage as the entire collection of pages on a *personal* web 'sub-site' (http://www.myserviverprovider.com/~myaccount/*). Homepage here is used in the idea of 'My home. My place. My personal space.' -- Benjamin Franz
