Last night I upgraded from WordPress v2.6.1 to WordPress v2.6.2. You’ve heard me extoll the virtues of WordPress. Free, open source, easy to modify and customize, highly secure and… updated (infuriatingly) often.
If you see any weirdness, please let me know so I can take a look at the issue.
I am constantly trying to think of ways in which to improve this website and to make it a better resource for California Workers’ Compensation professionals. If you’ve got an idea as to how I can improve this site, drop me a line and let me know.

However, today is the day I’m publicly launching my Retroactive Benefits calculator! Its fairly straight-forward. You tell it the weekly rate, start date, end date, payment date, and an interest rate. It tells you how many days, how much is due, how many days the benefit was delayed, and how much is due with interest.
Take a look, play around with it, let me know what you think. Drop me a line or post a comment.
If you’re at all curious, I’ve written about four eight of the plugins for this website. WordPress was specifically written to allow users to create their own plugins. A “plugin” is a little piece of programming code that will modify how a program behaves.
I’ll discuss them later on, but for the ravenously curious my plugins include:
