No tabs or picture boxes to select, just a simple "select a bullet" approach. After all, bullets are just round tabs. This approach is not limited to the minimal spacing of the tabs and also limits the "wordy" aspects of too much information. Concise statements and quick decisions for the user.

Also note that since this would be a wiki template (the image map adjusts to the image size) it can be sized to fit either the current 640px page or any future page size.

Progress through a series of similar picture hubs to get to page of interest. If (in this case) there are 7 bullets, each with 7 bullets then that is 49 target pages. One level deeper would result in 73 or 343 target pages within 3 mouse clicks.

Simple navigation with minimal reading to find your way (go quickly from A - B - C)

Construction is simple and efficient. A PowerPoint template could be made available which would provide the option to change a "standardized" square picture (cropped square) to a bullet hub picture.

The text, the number of bullets (four to eight), the size of the bullets and the text, the colors (plus transparency) of the text or bullets, and the image (or multiple images) can easily be modified within a particular PowerPoint template design (after creating a duplicate image to preserve the template).

The image is "Saved As" and then called up for cropping using the windows editor for a simple crop of the right side to make a square picture. Save and then done. Ready to upload.

The template design (number of bullets and their size) would be interchangeable with the standardized wiki template containing the image map so very few image maps would have to be made.

Just copy the code from an existing wiki template (lets say a 7 bullet picture) and save as a new template after changing the image link and the bullet links. Easy (easy?).
