If they want to use Flash, I presume they would want a sequence of slides to come up (on click?). I don't know the technology involved to show a sequence or host it (server side include?) and was wondering if there were other options. A simple html would be the obvious way for a single page and I will be recommending they learn to code up pages themselves. I'd even be willing to give them a start myself in the hope they'd motor on themselves. As for Dreamweaver, we have Nvu and Kompozer plus others. I just want a sensible follow up to his suggestion of a "cunning plan" to get input on GNU/Linux into a MS Academy!
