Here we go.

A test for numbered lists:

1. This is the first bullet.
2. Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
3. third short bullet
   1. Here’s a list
4. and another
5. Limit or eliminate text. You are there to speak. They are there to interact and listen, not read.
6. Send PDFs of your presentation, not PPTs as followup.
7. Tell a story. Every presentation needs a plot (1-3 underlying points). For Al Gore, it was “The planet is in trouble, and it’s worse than you thought” and “We are to blame, but if we now we can also be the solution.” The rest of his amazing presentation were just supporting elements to that plot line of his story.
8. Reduce the size of everything. As a default PowerPoint (and Keynote even) make everything too big. White space is your friend.
9. Don’t pass out your slides (unless they are for a board meeting). Don’t send your presentation in advance (there are exceptions to this rule).
10. Make your own color palette and stick with it for the entire presentation. Generally, you should only use 1-2 colors (plus black and grays).
11. White backgrounds are best. Don’t use backgrounds other than solid colors of very subtle gradients.
