Warning! Technobabble! Warning! Permanent brain damage could result! If you’re not into technobabble, please just skip this post.

In order to put up the Articles page, I had to modify the WordPress theme I’m using. The WordPress Themer Kit is a really really great tool for the design-challenged. ((I think the bald guy is going to win.)) ((My wife watches the show. Sounds like a lame disclaimer, I know.))

You don’t have to have any special design skill, just the ability to tinker with cascading style sheets. ((I warned you! Didn’t I warn you about the technobabble!?!))

Melty calculators
Melty calculators

Up until now, I’ve tried to keep the theme modifications to a minimum. I’ve done this before – such as to add the nifty little rounded corners to the tops and bottom of each page. One little error and your entire blog looks like alphabet soup or, worse, a Dali painting.

Don’t get me wrong – I like Dali. I just think my calculators would be more difficult to use if they went all melty.
P.S. Don’t leave your website calculators out in the sun.

I’ve just put up an “Articles Page.”

I’m looking forward to publishing articles from California workers’ compensation professionals. I have a few requirements, but they’re nothing onerous. So, if you’re a doctor, attorney, claims examiner, judge, hearing representative, lien claimant, or anyone else who makes your living through Workers’ compensation, drop me a line.

A friend sent me an e-mail letting me know their Verizon LG 9400 phone works with the calculator test. (Thanks Patty!) According to Verizon’s site this phone is out of stock.

FYI, when I need to research a phone, I use PhoneScoop.com. I find it a handy way to search/compare features. My own phone… has seen better days. I’m thinking the LG Dare, but we’ll see.

If your phone does not already work with PDRater.com, have you tried using a different web browser on your phone? Everyone knows Internet Explorer (sorry, no link :P ), most people know about FireFox (my own browser of choice), but there’s also Opera and OperaMini. OperaMini can be installed on some phones as an alternative to the factor web browser. From playing around with the OperaMini demo page, it looks like OperaMini will work with my calculators.

Almost completely off topic, have you seen the iPhone simulator? Sure, it doesn’t play music or make phone calls, but if you need a fix or want to test out some calculators (ahem), it’s a pretty cool website. ((Do people even use iPhones for telephone calls anymore? That’s sooo analog. . . .))
