   I created a directory in my home directory that I want to contain
   compiled elisp files that I have written myself. By setting the
   load-path variable appropriately in my .emacs file will emacs
   automatically load files ending in .elc in the specified directories?
   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
   This is what I assume and it doesn't work.

Although the suggestions presented in other replies to this article were
valid, I think perhaps the authors missed a point.  Emacs will only load
your lisp files if you tell it to do so.  There are a number of ways, so I
suggest you look up `autoload,' `load-library,' and `require' to determine
which best suits your needs.
