Dylan and all,

Taking Dylan's comments into consideration, I've put together a new mockup
that is basically his design, with only slight modifications.  Feel free to
check it out at
http://ubuntuwtf.wordpress.com/2009/06/21/my-second-mockup-suggestion-for-ubiquity-slideshow/

* I've removed the border from the 'smiley' slide, (which, to me seemed
unnecessary), and repositioned it, accordingly.  I think the border made it
look 'boxed in' and 'cookie cutter'.

* You're already familiar with my subtle changes to the text, in my attempt
to use language that is more personable.  I would be happy to go through the
text of all the sides and recommend any textural changes, if that would be
welcomed.

* The URLs are now just bolded blue links within the paragraph of text.

* The top margin is similar to my previous design, with the accent colour
changed slightly to fit.  (By the way, the "4 of 12" page count is centred
on the icon below it.)

* I've increased the slide's height slightly, because I felt I needed to do
so in order to give more whitespace for the title.  The dimensions are now
700 x 460.
