This document provides tips and techniques for improving PowerPoint presentations. It discusses using visuals like images and graphics to increase retention compared to just text. Presenters are advised to limit information on each slide to 3 main points or less. Templates, fonts, and focal points are also covered to help focus the audience and communicate the message more effectively. Copyright issues and plagiarism are briefly touched on. The goal is to create document that informs rather than just a "Slidument" through better design and engagement techniques.

58. A "Yes" to any of those could be a huge red flag that something's wrong. If you're still committed to slides, or if you're certain you need them, here's my favorite overall recommendation: 45

113. Plagiarism 95

114. Plagiarism If you didn’t write it, don’t say you did. If you use someone else's words or ideas, they MUST be given credit by linking to that thought or quote. Just saying "I read this in USA Today" doesn't cut it, bloggers must link to the specific article. Put their words in quotes or in block quotes. Safe guideline is not to exceed using 15% of anyone’s content If the owner of content requests that you remove the content, do so immediately. 96

115. Someone stole MY content! Contact them and request they cease and desist their activities. Tell their web host about their illegitimate dealings. Plug their domain name into any Whois lookup to get the contact info. Delete scraper pingbacks 97

116. Someone stole MY content! Put a copyright notice on your blog Put a copyright notice in your RSS feed footer Copyright © 2010 YOURBLOGNAME. This Feed is for personal non-commercial use only.
