The home page module will only appear on the home page the first time a visitor comes to your site.
You access the module in extensions/module/Home Page and click the wrench(configure).
Select the Homepage Data tab and click HomePage Entry
You will have a setting for how many times the home page module runs for each session.

You either create or edit an existing page here.

Name & Status Tab:
You give the page a name that is for your reference only. It is not used in the display. (REQUIRED)
Set status to enabled if you are going to use this page. It will automatically disable all other pages.
Only one page can be enabled at a time.
