\begin{quoteframe}{Why use this theme?}
William \& Mary's distinction as a leader in American education is over 300 years strong. Growth of the William \& Mary brand in the 21st century requires consistent and thoughtful stewardship of university visuals.\\

\begin{frame}[fragile]{Getting and Using the W\&M Beamer Theme}
\begin{enumerate}
  \item First, get a copy of the theme from the GitHub page
  \begin{itemize}
    \item https://github.com/leadmocha/beamer\_template\_WM
  \end{itemize}
  \item Extract the contents in the base of your LaTeX project
  \item Select the theme in your preamble
  \begin{verbatim}
    \documentclass[]{beamer}
    ...
    \mode<presentation> {
      \usetheme{WM}
    }
    ...
    \begin{document}
  \end{verbatim}
\end{enumerate}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}[fragile]{Frame vs Page Numbers}
Beamer allows transitions, which begs the question...\\
\begin{block}{}
\begin{center}How should I number my slides?\end{center}
\end{block}
Two possible options exist
\begin{itemize}
  \item numberbyframe
  \item numberbypage \structure{(default)}
\end{itemize}
The difference is that page numbers \alert{increase} with transitions and frames do not.
\begin{example}
\begin{center}
This is Frame \alert{1} Page \alert{\only<1>{1}\only<2>{2}}.
\end{center}
\end{example}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}[fragile]{Special Slides}
 A slide with half content half W\&M Crest:
  \begin{verbatim}
  \begin{crestframe}{Optional Title Here}
    Slide content goes here
  \end{crestframe}
  \end{verbatim}
 
  A Quote only slide use:
  \begin{verbatim}
  \begin{quoteframe}{Optional Title Here}
    Quote Here\\
    --Author here
  \end{quoteframe}
  \end{verbatim}
\end{frame}

\begin{crestframe}{Special Slide: Crest Frame}
\begin{itemize}
\item Will use up only 60\% of the frame
\item Crest is on the right
\item Similar to Quote frame
\end{itemize}
\end{crestframe}
