If you’re going to blog one thing, then blog it well. Presentation Zen does just that. Are your presentations as much fun as a dental hygenist’s convention? Learn how to make things interesting.

Couldn't agree more. PZ is excellent and was one of the inspirations behind my own blog (http://www.curved-vision.co.uk/presentation-skills-blog). I tend to cover more "how to" stuff as well as the "critique" stuff though. Cheers.... Simon

I know the post is now quite old, but I have also been influenced strongly by Garr Reynold's Presentation Zen. After implementing many of his tips (get his book!) and putting my own spin to it, I had received several excellent reviews from my audience in my past presentations! I now write about creating great slides and delivering effective presentations in my newly launched presentations blog http://www.rethinkpresentations.com/ Cheers, Oliver
