During December our articles covered a lot of territory. In the middle of December we had 3 articles about PowerPoint. The remaining four covered a lot of different territory.
Three PowerPoint Articles
Bullet Point Errors in PowerPoint This one focuses on the misuse of bullet points in PowerPoint, more specifically overuse. You'll want to look at my recommendation to follow the 6 x 6 rule when using bullet points. Your audience will appreciate your efforts.
Common Text and Font Errors in PowerPoint This article discusses such things as how to pick the right size typeface, the viewability of different text/background combinations, and the importance of correct spelling.
Less is More with PowerPoint Even PowerPoint can go over the top if you let it. It works best when it is used in a simple straight forward fashion. Those new to PowerPoint and all its power tend to overdo things a bit. Too much transition, too many fonts, far too much sound and animation. These can distract rather than gain attention for a presentation.
Two Articles about Eating
How to Get Free Birthday Meals Many chain restaurants have special programs in effect that give people free meals on or around their birthday. Advice on which restaurants do this and how to properly take advantage of it are provided in the article.
How to Reduce Salt in the Diet If you eat processed food of any kind there's a very good likelihood it contains salt. This article provides some suggestions for reducing your salt intake. It doesn't suggest eliminating all salt, just reducing it.
Happy New Year--Chinese Style
Matching Birth Dates to Chinese Zodiac Animals If you think you know your animal in the Chinese zodiac, you may have to think again--especially if you were born in January or February. Since the Chinese New Year occurs on a different day every year, your animal may be different than you think. This sight explains more thoroughly how to discover the animal that fits your birth date.
Editor's Choice Award
Accessing Extinct Websites This one received an Editor's Choice award, which means the editor really thought it was a good article and it gets linked on several special locations within the magazine besides the contents page. The article talks about what to do when a website is no longer available on the net. Many times it's still hanging around somewhere. This article tells you how to find it.
