Presentation blog

Freshness Warning
This blog post is over 17 years old. It's possible that the information you read below isn't current and the links no longer work.

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
