not4.. looking great! You've got tons of info there 
Maybe some pictures can be put up when you get to the section dealing with equipment and hardware? I've seen some posts before asking about what the masks (etc) look like so they get the right ones.
Great job so far!

Ya, I never got it to work either.
* Always wear gloves when working on oxygen hardware: It keeps the oil from your hands off the parts.*
N4, that has to go, I roll 333 ci 02 tanks around daily with oil covered gloves.
Way TMI....Like you said, you need to chop some stuff.
Like you also said, better to much info than not enough.
Id like to see someone do better, better yet id like to see someone DO!!!!
You ROCK, Bro!!

N4,
Okay, feedback for ya. That scared the shit outta me! hehe. I know you have to focus on the safety, but even after having O2 in my house and getting comfortable with using it, after I read the page I was scared to touch it!
It's long, and has oodles of great info. I realize you need to trim down and edit things, so I won't say anything about that. It looks good, lots of great info.
I just think the safety factor might be more useful if it wasn't so scary. JMHO

Cat: point taken and I'll definitely tone down the *scary* stuff....but nobody ever went broke UNDERestimating some peeps' capacity to hurt themselves.....that's probably why some doctor's are so resistent to prescribing o2.....and why ya can't get a year's supply of most meds....

Greetings Not4Hire
Well it opened for me and it is really good.
A little too long (IMHO) and a few of the message boards posts could be shortened - like,maybe quote them, but edit them.
Maybe you could trim it, and as you suggested, link the trimmed version to the long one - you're right; you have to make it idiot-proof, yet not dismay those with short attention spans.
Let me know if you need a hand in the editting.

Hey Nots. You're full of surprises! WELL DONE!! EXCELLENT grammar!! (And I thought it had died.)
Thank You!
BTW I sent you an IM about O2 supplies in NZ. Hope it is of use.
Have a great day

Not4Hire,
Great job so far!
You and many of us know the potential dangers of handling O2 and to many it is "scary" and it should be. I would not retract much of the "scary" stuff but you might stress that there is very little danger if used and or handled properly.
Good luck

Not4,
Well brother, I’m proud of you. Many people will be helped by your efforts. Again we see that one person can make a difference. We all have something to contribute to the CH cause, we just have to figure out what it might be.
IMHO: (yea, right, like anyone believes that) You do not have to cut the information. However in it’s current “one column” form, it’s unreadable. Divide it into sections, and have a link or button, on the side, to get to each one.
Love you people,
David J.

A VERY worthy cause you champion. A "button" to the wonderful world of O2 is long overdue.
1. Definitely outline it and break it into "links" like the existing "medical info" link.
2. Start off with a strong statement that "THIS WORKS". Most CHers arrive here jaded by an endless stream of "migraine miracles" that don't work and are resigned to a life of pain. Ya gotta get their attention!
3. Stick that "spooky" stuff at the end in a "warning" link for those couple of folks that have never seen the "NO SMOKING OXYGEN IN USE" signs all over every medical facility. Gotta have those "disclaimers". "this is not a toy", "do not eat without cooking", or my favorite....on every medicine "may cause headaches".
4. I was gonna say "include Doc Greggs stuff on O2" but I couldn't find it in the links. Was this removed?
5. A link of e-mail addresses of those of us that use it. Some folks are more comfortable asking dumb questions that way. Feel free to include my e-mail address...doc2000@txucom.net I'm sure a lot of others would agree to have theirs available for this worthy cause.
I applaud yer efforts and add my name to yer list of folks that support the request to ask DJ to give O2 it's own "button" on the left.

Not4.....great job, and lot's of good info there.
I agree with David and Den though. I would link to the posts and the medical info. Streamline the opening page down to how great the results are, how to use it correctly, and the precautionary measures. I've been handling 02 since I was old enough to roll the bottles and light a cutting torch......your info scared the shit out of me....LOL. I'll be a little more cautious now.
I think this is going to help so many people....you are great for doing this....

....if any of you WEBslingers will contact me on how to make my page easier to read, WOTAN will bless your house.....(the limitations of what I can put into the Earthlink template makes it *impossible* to fix...i tink)
TIA for any help.....I'd like to give ole DJ a *turnkey* page, rather than a *turkey*.....He's a busy guy......
