2nd attempt: Serious Critique Please

http://insulinquestions.com


OMG!!!!

I've discovered dreamweaver and I can't believe I spent so much time imputting all that code - and to think how badly a job it was. I'm still learning Dreamweaver and redoing all the mistakes in the previous attempted coding but could you please offer some suggestions. Previously it was suggested that it read too much like a PowerPoint presentation (the quick presentation was originally done in PowerPoint and then switched to Flash and that's meant for someone to send to a friend to give a brief overview of the insulin problems,) but the first few pages hold critical emergency info.

Anyway, I'm not looking for top marks in tags and mark-up but I'm looking for critique on clarity of information and if any of it makes sense to the common reader whether they are taking insulin or not.

Thanks, RebeccaJ
PS
If you are taking insulin please look over the information and make sure you're using a safe insulin or if you know someone who could be using insulin, please send the info or site on to them. (1 in 4 people are either diabetic or pre-diabetic - this is important info.)


The next question: How do I get the site out to as many people as possible?

Thanks guys

hello!

where is the link to the page?

as for save and not save insulin? I am a doctor and I don´t know anything about not-safe insulin, but probably that is different in the US, or wherever you life

http://insulinquestions.com
is the URL.

I can't believe that I didn't include the URL and now . . . a doc?

I await your critique and ready myself for battle.

Aaargh - flash intro and no alternative link.
Goodbye!

Thanks for the help . . . I'm working on it now . . .

As for your page: Sure there exist sideeffects to insuline, but those are not caused by genetical insuline being genetically engineered, but cause of the impossibility to applicate insuline a way that correlates with the physiological insuline production. In fact there exists genetically engineered insuline that´s chemical structure is EXACTLY the same as a human insuline, other than e.g. bovine insuline. So as mentioned above, the sideeffects are caused by the form of application being "unphysiological" like e.g. if you are using a basis-bolus-system you are coming closer to physiological pendant but still way far away. So not the substance is the problem, but the way how to applicate it. But this goes for whatever kinda insuline you are using.

Theoretical you would even have more problems with bovine insuline, since it´s not 100% pure, meaning not 100% same structure than human insuline is, but then it´s not really that way practically seen, since insuline is one of the few hormons that are not race-specific.

As for your stories about being blind and stuff, well you are trusting in some sources there I guess, that did no serious research on that matter. Basically a very common failure on such studies would be that they were done by a certain party that is caused disadvantages by genetically engineered insuline. Remember the studies that the sugar industry did once on Saccharin (a sweetener), with those rats? All those rats that were fed with Saccharin and got a kidney cancer. This study I know specifically since a colluege of mine was part of the team that did the study. Fact is that those rats were fed with a dose of Saccharin that equals for a human being eating like 4-5kg of Saccharin each day. Know what I am meaning? If you would do the same experiment setup using sugar instead of Saccharin the same amount of rats would suffer from kidney cancer cause of the osmotic damage being done all the time. But the sugar lobby did order this experiment and the publicated it and till now many people do believe that sweetener really causes kidney cancer. This is what I call unserious experiments.

Anyway what I am basically saying here is that there is no real difference in sideeffects about using genetically engineered or bovine/pigs insuline. We use both here in Austria with the same amount of sideeffects. And as a little remark to your page, about doctors not knowing that "human" insuline was being genetically engineered: I can´t really believe in that. You could ask every doctor here in Austria and he/she would know about that, and I don´t really believe that the collueges in Canada are less knowledgeable.

Best regards, Mithril

P.S. sorry for my bad English, but I am not really used to give medical specific information in english

I remember your previous submit of this site for review..
While you may have changed tools.. you've not changed approaches.

If this were a powerpoint presentation, I would give it a completely different review.. Which would be a favourable one. however, this is a web document.

• Ditch the flash intro. Plain and simple, it is a waste of my time.
  
• Where is the site? Do you realise that a visitor to your site has to click eight(8) times before they arrive at your actual site? This is eight clicks after they have actually gone to your index page. First and foremost.. No introduction.. give me your site and give me your content. IQWeb.htm should be your home page.
  
• I have a lot of problems with your intro pages that I won't mention, because they should be discarded anyway (for the reason mentioned above) One problem I will mention though, for future reference: it is okay for the visitor to have to scroll to see all of the content, or all of an article, but it is not okay when the visitor has to scroll to even know the content is there.
  
• There are some issues with IQWeb.htm that aren't too terrible, but just have to do with optimising your presentation, and making it easier on the visitor to navigate around. There is little point in getting into these issues though, because except for a fools like me.. nobody is going to click 8 times to see a site that they don't even realise is hidden in there.
  

I have already pointed out a few points in your previous post.
Resubmitting: with the URL (this time).
I can see that there were no replies or acknowledgments to my previous posts.

It normally takes time and effort to review as site and check the code. While people asking for reviews are perfectly entitled to choose the approach they take, acknowledgment would be the least curtsey they can extend towards the reviewer.

There are many excellent advice above so I will not add anything to it.

One advice, I will give.

You will find that almost all professional web designers use simple tools. Dreamweaver is not one of them.
Dreamweaver with its powerful features helps newbies to create a site without or with limited knowledge of proper HTML and CSS, but there lies its fault.

Any web designer should learn HTML and CSS and not rely on programs.

I had Dreamweaver on my HD for many years and only tried it once and dropped it. I actually removed it from my HD sometimes ago as it was gathering dust.

Good luck

as for dreamweaver: you can use it AND know html and css. I e.g. use it for the raw thingies and then work through the code manually changing those parts of the source that do not fit my needs. Alternatively you could of course use non-WYSIWYG-editors that would do a same good job. My point is simply dreamweaver is not all that bad.

Thank you for your reply, Mithril,
The research is accurate and undertaken by professional scientists and the documentation of proof has been performed. The only problem is, is that the information is not reaching the people who are using the genetically engineered/synthetic insulin and are sick or dying from its ill effects. Not Human insulin which is taken from human cadavers.

Your country, Austria, seems to be further advanced than the USA where the Bush Administration has made Beef and Pork insulin illegal. And, Canada, along with many other countries, where our governments have pulled the natural beef and pork insulin off the markets because the new insulin is more profitable. We can only import small amounts using a special access program which is costly and sometimes you die before you get the drug.

I kindly thank you for your reply and would love to further the thread, if you wish, but right now - my focus is to make sure as many people get the information in case they are experiencing the ill effects of their medication.

Thank you

Yes, you are absolutely correct! I should have replied much sooner.

I haven't replied as I did not know how to reply . . . didn't know what to say and have been a little overwhelmed with the whole project. I thought I was nearing the end but apparently, just beginning, again.

I've gone back to the drawing board and trying to rethink the whole site with everyone's ideas in mind. All of you are totally right and you've given me some excellent ideas.

The Flash intro isn't necessary (I think it was an ego thing proving to myself that I learned a new program - totally selfish and uncalled for.) Also I'm not an artist and I guess I was proud of my 'drawings' in PhotoShop.

The eight click intro "thingy" was I wanted to make sure everyone read what I had to say and I felt all of it was important. But you're right - I should be able to get my point accross more directly.

The eight click . . . I think was an attempt to make it look different than a typical website.

I can't tell you how much I appreciate your comments and the time you took to review the website. Plus . . . it is because of you that I've found out that the site isn't even on a search engine.

So far, I've wasted a year trying to help people and maybe save a few lives and now find myself starting over with nothing good coming from over a years work.

SO I'M AGAIN, BESIDE MYSELF . . .

Please don't think of me as rude for not replying sooner and please don't think I'm ungrateful. I really appreciate all the help and direction you've given.

Thanks for the input . . .

You've made some very good points and I'm endeavouring to make those changes as quickly as possible.

I appreciate you taking the time to review and reply . . .
