Hi… is it just me or is everyone getting the Duarte RSS feed in Japanese… I love the content, I just can’t read it… Let me know if I’m forgetting something.
Cheers, Paul

Hi everyone, I discovered your blog two months ago and I read all your posts. I learned and laughed a lot. I’m waiting for episode 4 about cheesy animations

My question : Which tool do you advice to add audio on a presentation ? Thanks, Vincent, France.

Hi Shawn, GREAT job. I’m happy you used the file+audio feature. ‘Cuz it isn’t a presentation without a presenter, it’s a document. Good content too. Congrats

Yannick, great question! On a laptop with that resolution, you should set it to 100% magnification in slide sorter mode. That may still be a bit small, but it will ensure that even if your slideshare presentation gets posted on a blog and reduced in size, it will still hold up. The main thing to keep in mind is not to go too small with your type. Thanks for your questions!

When using images, let’s not forget Creative Commons. A place like Flickr’s Creative Commons is a good place to find copyright friendly images. But, as always, provide attribution with use, and make sure you are familiar with the varying levels of CC licensing.

Hi Nancy, just a quick note to say your blog has been an inspiration, especially on how to use slides more effectively. I have just done a presentation where I use storytelling and I’ve posted here in slideshare with the audio. Just an example of what you are talking about I think. http://www.slideshare.net/ShawnCallahan/storytelling-for-community-engagement

Love the storytelling tips from Nancy. Transparency, openness, vulnerability — all are part of the new paradigm of leadership.

Great tips, especially on 66% view for checking font sizes for slideshare.

Thanks Team Duarte! *:-)

Thanks, these are great. I agree with havkikp, Keep them coming. One suggestion: Visual may be needed when talking about contrast, color, etc. behind or beside Ryan when he mentioned colors to avoid…compare and contrast.
