Dear Sir,
I would like to ask about how to call the pod script on the main page of my website? In other words, I would like the directories to be shown in the main page of my website (i.e. as a part of my main page)? A good example that I would like to know how he made this integration is http://www.fares.net ? Thanks you so much in advance.

Again, this is most often done on the Web server side of things and has nothing to do with POD specifically. In Apache, for instance, it can be handled with a simple Redirect line in the configuration of the server.

If you don't have access to your Web server's configuration to edit it, then you can also do it a little more awkwardly with a redirect in a dummy index.html page. Create an index page for your site, and in it, put this:

<html>
<head>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" CONTENT="0; URL=http://yourdomain.com/cgi-bin/pod.cgi">
</head>
</html>

That will redirect the page automatically to the script.

BTW, the folks in the example you give are violating the terms of use for the Open Directory Project, which requires certain links be left in, in order to legally use that data. ODP is regularly informed of such violations when they are found, and they take legal action against sites that misuse the data in this manner. Do not remove references to becoming an editor to a category, or otherwise violate the ODP license, as you're just asking for trouble.
