I agree that impress.js is pretty cool! I have been using kinjo's
org-export-as-html5presentation and finding that it works really well
(http://hpda.hackinghistory.ca/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/03-public-sphere.html#slide1).
 something I like a lot about it is that the css is embedded in the
presentation -- this makes it easy to post to a website & have it work
automatically.  I can't tell immediately if it's possible to set the
CSS stylesheet & impress.js location with a custom variable or not.
If it is possible -- it would b pretty fantastic.  It looks like it
ought to be possible to integrate into wordpress, too -- so I could in
principle w/ some modifications to org2blog/wp, just post
presentations to my class blog -- god that would be fantastic!  Maybe
next year though.

Whew, it's pretty exciting really.

Thanks for the links, and if anyone is using it in those ways I'd love
to hear about it!
