I'll explore video as well as Alan Levine's 'branding' idea next time. :-) One step at a time, Dean! I’ll explore video as well as Alan Levine’s ‘branding’ idea next time. :-)

That's when I freeze up.

I have included videos which complicates the process. The current release of Flash however, is not compatible yet so my last presentation with Cooliris had to link to videos on Youtube. If you want your images to link to webpages, you have to get into the code. That's not that difficult and is quite nice to be able to smoothly toggle between your presentation and the web.

While I appreciate the innovative format, and will check this out later on my school, it would be nice to have a traditional slideshare or something where I coul d see this other than just a giant page full of pictures. Just something to consider. Remember, not everyone will have (or can install) required plugins. Chris Doug,
