One of Obama’s Health Care’s most controversial elements is the requirement that most Americans carry health insurance or face a fine. The Treasury Department in August released a 75-page guideline detailing what’s expected and who is included. Continue reading
WestEastonPA Has New Look On Your Mobile Phone
I noticed it and a few have told me about it. Viewing this website on a mobile phone presented a mish-mash of pictures and clustered entries that made navigation difficult.
The situation of mobile phone screens not displaying a website in an easy to read and navigate format is common. Many businesses and website owners don’t realize that mobile phones have overtaken PCs in their use of accessing the Internet. Continue reading
