http://www.macintouch.com/reviews/office2008/This is a review of the various options that are part of Office 2008, including PowerPoint 2008. This is an assessment on MacWorld, and I believe Windows is a better system. Unfortunately, this site is inviting and intriguing and I have to give it a good ratingCIN Rating: 8 (I would put 9, but since it is supporting Macs (boo!), I have to give it a 8) (R2 =9)

http://www.actden.com/PP/ I really like this link - it's a fun intro! However, i don't think links to YouTube should be included in composite posts (even if they're hilarious). Overall a good post on the topic though a bit hard to navigate (greater topical organization would be helpful)

My favorite link was the youtube one... even though it wasn't quite on topic. Other than that, all the posts that ended up with a CIN rating of 7 or more were pretty good.

Lots of good choices, but I don't think you need all of them. Try slimming it down to the more important ones. This would make it easier to organize like Vivian has asked.

Agree with comments on organization and the youtube comment should be separated at the end, if included at all.

I agree with the comments already posted. The YouTube video should probably not be included, and it was somewhat disorganized. But gret job!!!
