As many of you know we have been in a complete rebuild of the OCF website's hundreds of pages. (Actually a larger number if you consider all the news article pages) We are about 90% done making the site compliant with the new web standards (W3C - you can click on the little icon on the bottom right of the home page to learn more) This new web standard will speed up and revolutionize the way people view sites on the web. Anyway, when you are rebuilding this many pages there are plenty of opportunities to screw up a link, connect it to the wrong new page, create typos, and more. Chester and I would be very appreciative if as many of you as possible would wander around the site, reading the pages for errors that we might have missed, or links that do not work or go to the right new page. (There are some intentional dead links in the site that will go new pages soon to be put up) You may get linked to a page that looks like the old OCF page style, and if so, please copy the URL of the page and email it to me with any other errors that you find. When you write copy and build the pages yourself, it is very easy to miss things, as your mind already knows what the sentence says, and will blow right buy a wrong word, a misspelling, etc. Any help from those that have time would be greatly appreciated.

As soon as we are sure that things are good to this point, we have many new pages to start putting up on eating, swallowing, and speech issues, reconstruction including dental implants, and the addition of about 50 PDF articles from oral cancer authorities that will go into more depth related to many of the oral cancer topics which we have obtained permission to add to the site. We will also be adding a completely new section on end of life issues. This has been a difficult part to find qualified professional co-authors for, and equally difficult to write. But it is a necessary component of a comprehensive site. Please chip in proofreaders, and help us offer quality pages that work properly to the thousands of people that come to us each day.
