You're actually quite right... It's kind of a static page from the
getgo...
However, there are two ways to make it dynamic. You can use a
requestAction on the home.ctp to call an action from another
controller and get dynamic data on the home.ctp, or you can make a new
homepage as the standard (like for instance /posts/index for a blog or
something) by adjusting the routes in the config/routes.php file...
Add (Or change) this route:
Router::connect('/', array('controller' => 'yourcontroller', 'action'
=> 'youraction'));
