Re-Thinking Using Flash

The portal I created using flash doesn't seem to be a wise choice as I seem to have way too much content to add. It would take too long to the file to load. With only one post built, it's already taking forever. I am having to look towards some new ideas for content management.

I have had suggestions of UDUTU, Ning, and Google Sites as possible solutions. I will be spending more time trying these out. I am going to see if some of these service can work with small flash modules. It might be that a paid version of the service will work but I will try and see what I can use for free for now.

I had a small amount of time to talk with a bunch of volunteers around the office about Pride Training. A lot of them are returns so they already have experience with various posts. A lot of them also say that things are usually pretty clear once they are doing the job. My only concern is with safety issues. There are a lot of things that might be overlooked if effective training is not conducted.

I talked to Imani about my findings. She said that training is very important and necessary. She believes that training could be done better and has asked that I help with this. I want to be able to get people involved and excited about Pride. Maybe this training portal will be the trick. How can I make learning easy and engaging? If I could use the model of facebook here, craeting a Pride community maybe that would help.
