[Portfolio] Narrative of Portfolio Setup

[Robin Hill]

Thanks, Sean!  I see what you mean, and I have corrected the narrative document, and updated some other little things, and I hope that our portfolio colleagues will send me other editing suggestions.  Next thing-- more detail on the XSL portfolio presentation.

Robin,

I see you have discussed the use of student authored content via a
published form in the "Design-Your-Own" section. I don't mean to say
that this is "incorrect", for you certainly could use them that
way...but it isn't a technique I've heard discussed much  as you would
need to "attach" the file to the page and then link to it
somewhere...I think.

A "typical" (hahaha!) scenario for using the Free Form style of
portfolios would be to allow the student to author their content in
the "regions" of their portfolio page, not to link to form-related
content from their page...

Sean
