Setting Up My Web Page

Things seem to be going well with my web page set-up. I am currently working on my class calendar and my 'about me' page. The only thing that I am unsure about is how I can personalize my home page to make it more interesting and engaging. I feel as though most of my pages have the proper information, but are not very personal. Is it possible to add pictures to the home page of our website, and if so, how? I'm also unsure as to how I can upload a form or document onto my website. Learning these things would be helpful as I try to finish putting my website together.
