What if your next presentation didn't require PowerPoint, and instead simply make use of your Bryght site? No need to worry that the latest file version is on your laptop. No need to lock yourself into a proprietary file format.

We spent some time yesterday playing around with S5: A Simple Standards-Based Slide Show System from Eric Meyer. Essentially with a bit of JavaScript, and some well done CSS, it's possible to turn a carefully designed web page into an online presentation.

"Great", we thought. So, last night I whipped together a quick Drupal module to make it possible to view a "book" as a slideshow presentation. You can see a simple demo in action over on our test site. the module is still a little rough around the edges, but we'll have it cleaned up and ready for release in due time.

Your business deserves to be found.
