I would like to create a welcome page using a topic in a course with a picture for each topic that will open that hidden topic.
Is this possible please?
I am a beginner so if it's too technical I will have problems applying any code.

Dear Peter,
The easiest non-teccy-ish way I can think of is using named anchors, please browse:
http://www.w3schools.com/TAGS/tag_a.asp
http://www.w3schools.com/TAGS/att_a_name.asp
http://www.w3schools.com/TAGS/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_link_bookmark
To do this, you name your sections or activities with an 'a' tag and the 'name' attribute using the editors 'edit html source'. Then wrap an 'a' tag around the image at the top in the same way but then the 'href' attribute has a value of the name above, i.e. '#nameyougave'.
Cheers,
Gareth

Hi Peter. Not quite sure if this is what you are meaning but there is a suggestion in the Moodle docs here.

Thank you very much Mary and Gareth.
Your information and links are very helpful. For the time being I have followed the advise of another post to hide all the activities and have them appear on mouse rollover.
Soon I will try your suggestions.
Thanks for the links Gareth, very educational.
