By "homepage" I guess you mean timeline.

If that is the case then you need to:

Log in to Facebook
Select the drop down menu from the arrow and select Privacy Settings (Fig. 1)
Click the Custom cog wheel (Fig. 2)
In the section called Timeline and Tagging click edit settings
In the popup click the drop down next to Who can post on your timeline? and select No one (Fig. 3)
Click Done

You can also control posting with the setting under this, "Who can see what others post on your timeline?" -- if they can't see what others post then they are not able to post either. That is useful if you want to restrict posting to a subset of friends, which you can't do with just the first setting.
