PDRater – PD calculators

This baby monkey has nothing to do with workers compensation at all

This website was recently re-launched on July 6, 2008 in a “blog” style format using WordPress to power everything except the calculators.[1]

On July 23, 2008 this website was all of one year old.  That day I made a goal of posting something[2] every single weekday.[3]  Today is the 100th post on this site and I can’t help feeling somewhat accomplished.[4]

As any website regular can tell, I’m constantly tinkering with this site.  I fully understand constant change might be somewhat disorienting.  On the other hand, I’m making these changes in an effort to improve the appearance and usability of the website.

Most recently, I moved the Medical Provider Network and Links sub-pages to be their own[5] menu options.  These pages seem to be things people use a lot and really deserve their own spot at the top.  Then again, I don’t want the top menu to be too cluttered.  There’s really no one great solution to this dilemma.

Other changes I’m considering:

1. Moving the EAMS and WCAB search functions to their own page.  Some users[6] use these functions exclusively and probably don’t appreciate the dozen or so other calculators.
2. Combining the Blog and Articles pages.  I haven’t done this so far because I doubt people want to sift through my technobabble to learn something about workers’ compensation.

While I have you here:

• What do you think of the new look?
• What do you think about the MPN’s and Workers’ Compensation Links getting their own menu items?
• Would you like to see the EAMS and WCAB search functions get their own menu items?

Drop me a line and let me know.
