 * <span style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace; font-size: 19px; line-height: 27px;">Limit each slide to one main idea.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace; font-size: 19px; line-height: 27px;">Use bullet points to cover components of each idea.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace; font-size: 19px; line-height: 27px;">Keep each bullet to 1 line, 2 at the most.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace; font-size: 19px; line-height: 27px;">Limit the number of bullets in a screen to 6, 4 if there is a large title, logo, picture, etc.
