How do you add a link for the homepage?

I have this:
Code:
<div id="menu">
        <ul>
            <li class="current_page_item"><a href="">Homepage</a></li>
            <li><a href="">Add</a></li>
            <li><a href="">Search</a></li>
            <li><a href="">About</a></li>
            <li class="last"><a href="">Contact</a></li>
        </ul>
    </div>

The href="" is replaced by whatever was my last view call. What I want is for homepage to go back to the main website page. How do I do that? I don't know what to put there other than index to call the /mycontroller/index function. I didn't know if that was "the way" it was done.

Code:
<li class="current_page_item"><a href="&lt;?=base_url();?&gt;">Homepage</a></li>

or

Code:
<li class="current_page_item">&lt;?=anchor("", "Homepage");?&gt;</li>

The first one put me too far back. It did not put be at the default controller so I must not have something set right. It is http://127.0.0.1/myvirtualdirectory instead of http://127.0.0.1/myvirtualdirectory/mydefaultcontroller.

The second one put me at http://127.0.0.1/myvirtualdirectory/index.php but did not put me at the default controller. I got 404 on both. I put in a simple "index" but I would like to make your way work.

Well you obviously have not setup codeigniter quite right. In the routes.php file have you set the right default controller. and also is your base_url in configs file right.
