Why My Blog is Called “The Salty Dog”

I wanted to have something catchy that relates to me instead of just “My Blog” . The one thing that came to mind is salt. Why salt? Having the last name Morton conjures the brand Morton Salt. I’m also a U.S. Navy veteran who served on board a guided missile destroyer and a rescue salvage ship. I’m also an active member of my American Legion Post, a veterans organization. I once was a “Salty Dog” sailor. I also love dogs and have two, Daisy and Abby. So there you have it.

Widescreen Presentations

Times have certainly changed. I remember when I was younger you actually had to get up off the couch to change the channel on the square shaped television, all eight of them. Today, movies and television episodes are in high-definition, widescreen ratio. So, if everything that we watch is wide format, what about presentations? PowerPoint and Keynote both have widescreen settings. Here’s some advantages of using widescreen for your next presentation:

• Presentation will be more visually appealing
• Takes on a higher production value
• More real estate for charts, text and graphics

Don’t’ forget to have custom background images created at the same size of your presentation for the master slides.
