A guide for PowerPoint presentations

A TechRepublic member, ceciledc22, asked for some guidelines for creating a GOOD PowerPoint presentation. I found a few old references in the archives, but I suspect the community here in the Discussion Center will have some ideas to share.

What makes a good presentation, whether it’s made with Powerpoint or crayons and paper? Are there some guidelines that apply to any presentation?
