Slideshare Spring Cleaning

Do you ever want to take a rubber mallet to your head because you did something so stupid which could have been easily avoided if you only put a little more thought into it?  I just realized that all my presentations on Slideshare have been looking like crap because I uploaded them all as ppts.  I thought the compromised quality was just part of how Slideshare works.  So my presentations have been getting viewed in a crappy compromised format when they could have been much better.

As someone who takes pride in visual presentations, this is a mini-heartbreak.  *Sigh—So it goes.  Anyway, I've done a little Spring cleaning.  All of the decks are of much better quality and can be viewed here.  And if you use Slideshare, remember to upload PDFs even though it accepts PPTs—your graphics will look much better!

Raimo, yes PDF will do it. And if you made the mistake I did by uploading a ppt—simply click on the "edit" link and re-upload the file. That'll do it!

This is somewhat off topic, but I just wanted to point you toward Richard Huntington's latest post on Adliterate. It's essentially about how advertising people and design people are separated by a common language. I don't want to spoil it, so I'll just drop the link...

Definitely worth a glance.

At least you knew to use a 'Rubber Mallet' - give yourself SOME credit here.

Thanks for the great posts David.
