Cool.  Although I still prefer the slides (they're point form, so
they're easier for me to read) the HTML versions have cool extra tips
like your pointer to M-x re-builder.

I wonder:

1.  Why not move the Migrating to Emacs stuff to near the end of the
Introduction to Emacs slideshow?  It contains useful info, but crucial
info (e.g. how to install Emacs) or tons of info (e.g. how to
customize Emacs), which all the other things have.  That is why I
would suggest merging it in there.

2.  A suggestion:  Maybe you should rearrange the webpage to encourage
people to click the slides instead of the HTML.  With their large
graphics and easy-to-read point-form style, better to encourage people
to click there.  You could use a layout like this for each line:

Introduction to Emacs   Slides (concise): PDF / ODP   Lecture text
(detailed): HTML
