Questions after playing

Well, I can see I will have to spend much more time on Frontier, but the
Manila stuff seems pretty straightforward so far. I have a few quick
questions after playing with things a bit.
1. If my students want to develop a fairly comprehensive site, let's say, a
page for annotated bibliography or journal articles, a page for commented
links, a page for essays by each student, and pages for their development of
the topic, do they have to create a new site for each page? Since each
individual page would not be a blog, so would not be flipped, I imagine
every page in their site would be a new site. Their "main" or home page
would then contain links to each of those other site-pages (as shortcuts)?
Also, does that mean the students have to create a membership group to share
for all those site-pages?
2. Does each page have to have a login button or link? I deleted the login
in the main site I created, and after loging out, just could not log back
in.
3. The Manila sites I created all have too funky of an URL. Hence, my
students might end up with an url that looks like:
http://smu-593930-dd.willamette.edu/whatever/
Am I correct in assuming that such urls will not change unless I run
everything through my University's web server? So that the sites will come
up as:
http://www.willamette.edu/~ncordova/teamone/
I'd prefer the last address rather than the first one.
Thanks,
