I think a high level overview in the FAQ with a Pic, and then going forward a article would be a good basis to approach this?, in my opinion

Hehe you just beat me to it! LOL!! And no i'm really not John either, am not even the same sex! LOL!! :wink:

In my little opinion though i think that an article would be better as it would be more in depth, whereas the FAQs are not. Although linking them both is a good idea! :lol:

I agree...

An article is easier to layout and easier to indlude pics and diagrams.

Now then.. as to diagrams, I could do with a little help as though I can do them OK on Adobe or Fireworks, they are rather time consuming. Any of you graphic whizzes out there willing to give a hand??

And yes I know there are loads of pics on the net BUT there are copyright issues and its better if we do our own for the site I feel.

Yes please, I'd certainly prefer an article. I

I think that if an answer to a FAQ is complex enough to need illustrating, then the FAQ answer should only be a stub that links to a better article.

Oh, and as for graphics, I'm not that hot on creating them myself either :(. But I'd certainly prefer them being created as GIFs, JPEGs or PNGs, (as created by something like Fireworks) as they're far easier to incorporate into the site.

John...

If no-one else can do the graphics then I can... I just tend to get carried away and find I have spent all night fiddling with backgrounds or changing colours. I never know when to say STOP!!

An article it is then....

Andrew - won't see him until June now, but will try to manage with glasses until stitches come out of right eye towards the end of this year. I can see really well compared to pre op, I'm just worried about the deterioration in the left eye.
