Anybody out there ever dink around with Word Press?

I'm trying to get a smart phone friendly site started to promote Pond Boss, and to put some fun pictures on. As you can see, I have Pond Boss on the "Pages" menu, and also on the links, but I'd like to get the Pond Boss logo to show up when you click the Pond Boss page. Anybody ever do stuff like this?

Bruce, did you save the PB logo to your Wordpress media folder, or did you try to add it via hyperlink?

I didn't know you could do that. I actually didn't do anything other than type in the URL. So I guess first order of business is to find a PDF of the logo?

You can do a save as to your computer, and pdf the logo, or just save it as a .gif to your computer, and upload that.

Here's the Wordpress media help files.

Images

I'm not sure with Wordpress whether it resizes the image to fit whatever mobile resolution you're shooting for, but once it's saved to your home directory, it should work fine.

Hope this helps.

You'll know in a short while.
I've been known to take great advice and render it useless. LOL

That's looking pretty sharp in only a short period of time Bruce. Nicely done.

Nice work Bruce.

My son is one of the volunteer WordPress developers/trainers/etc., if that would be of any assistance.

Well, YEAH!!!!!!!!

Score!

I am fairly certain that is a misdemeanor in several states and could result in a hideous scar.

Trust me...ultimately the scars are all emotional in nature.

Those are often the worst kind.

You're not making it any better.

If I'm going in for therapy, I'll make dang sure that the therapist is an accountant.

The converse is also true that if you're going to prepare your taxes, you should go to a licensed psychotherapist.

I don't believe that there is much difference between an accountant and a psychotherapist.

In both professions we invite our clients into our offices and encourage them to share with us events from their past. In both cases our clients discuss their triumphs and tragedies with a range of emotions from sadness to anger that results in laughter and tears. In both professions we hear stories that contain facts and fantasy, truths, half truths and occasionally complete fabrication.

In both professions we take copious notes and once the client leaves our office we distill our notes into report format and then file the report.

The main difference is that at the end of the process a psychotherapist prepares their report with technical language and diagnosis that is unique to their profession and then files their report in a filing cabinet.

An accountant on the other hand prepares his/her report using tax code and numeric calculations that is unique to our profession and then files the report with the taxing authorities.

All in all I envy psychotherapists, they earn a higher billing rate per hour when compared to us accountants and the psychotherapist's clients are a little less crazy that ours.

Bravo, Jeff.

Best post of 2013!

Thank you sir, I seem to be on a roll in this brief calm before the storm of tax season.

LOL, well done, JHAP. Insightful JHAP posts must be a sign of the apocalypse....the end is nigh!

Speaking of the apocalypse, I have absolute proof that the world will end on....

wait for it...

... February 29, 2228.

On that date the city of Madera, California has absolutely nothing on it's calendar.

If you closely examine theMadera'n Calendar you will see that there is absolutely nothing on that date.

Ergo the earth ends on 02/29/2228.

I probably should start a cult or something, perhaps after tax season.

I thought you already had one. Don't you sit on the throne of the GSF Society?

The GSA is NOT a cult. It's more of an attitude adjustment agency.

And I don't have a throne - it's more of a plush leather office chair that I can adjust to a height such that I can look down upon peons.

You must have to raise that chair up an awful lot to look down on anybody.

yeah, and for God's sake, stop staring down at your peons!

You guys be careful taunting GSF leader. He may unleash a fecund horde to wildly reproduce in your waters.

Just as long as he not playing with it, er, them!

c'mon Todd....the guy's a bean counter

I've never figured out the value of hiring a bean counter. I've already got a reliable count.

I think this post just might be more at home in Theater of the Absurd!

Bean counters work well with the IRS. That can be a good thing so you don't have to call Todd or me.

Bean counter, boy that's strange. I prefer a nice solid marble, or even formica, but never bean!!!

That's because you naively believe that you just count the beans and you are just done. You obviously don't have a clue as to how beans must be counted.

Here's an example of how the internal revenue code works:

Step 1: Count your beans. Write than number on line 1 of form 1040BN

Step 2: Segregate the beans into three distinct populations.

A. Population number one is for beans that are grown primarily for oil extraction and should include soybeans and peanuts. Write this number on Form 1040BN line 2.

B. Population number two is for beans that are grown primarily for food purposes such as snap peas and snow peas. If you have any beans in this population then you must complete Schedule FB as follows: Write this number of "food beans" on Schedule FB line 1. Write the number of these beans that were grown east of the Rockies on Schedule FB line 2. Multiple this number times .08 and write that number line 3. Count the number of these beans that were grown north of the Mason-Dixon line on line 4. Multiply the the number on line 4 times .675. If that number is less than 18,791,365 then write that number on line 5. Subtract line 5 from line 1, divide by 2, subtract 50,000 and write that number on line 6. If the number on line 6 is more than 7,500,000 stop here and complete form 8791ABN to compute your alternative bean count. You have grown too many beans and therefor we are going to take more of your beans than you though was possible. If the amount on line 6 is less than 7,500,000 then transfer this number to Form 1040BN line 3.

C. Population number three must include seeds that you think are beans but are not. This pile must include coffee beans, castor beans and cocoa beans and vanilla beans. Were any of the beans in this pile used in the production or consumption of coffee including black coffee, coffee with cocoa flavoring or coffee with vanilla flavoring? If yes then you must complete Form 4958JOE. Note if any sugar or artificial sweetener was added to the coffee prior to consumption then you must also complete form 2143SWT. If added milk or creme to your coffee then you must also complete form 5571MOO.

Step 3: did you sell for consumption any peanuts that are included in the count on line 2? If yes were they sold for the making of PB&J sandwiches? If yes, refer to publication 42 "The Tax effect of PB&J Sandwich Production." You will need to be able to determine how many of these sandwiches were consumed with the crust on versus consumption with the crust removed. Also you will need to know if either Smuckers or Welches jams or jellies were used in the PB&J production. Finally were these sandwiches cut on the diagonal or on the horizontal? If any of the sandwiches were cut on the diagonal and Smuckers grape jelly was used in the production then you may be eligible for an additional bean credit. Refer to chapter 41, page 784, paragraph 5 in Publication 89 for further details.

Step 4: were any of these beans used in the production of gas? If yes then you must complete form 6378TOOT.

So you see, you need a bean counter or you are probably sending in way, way too many beans.

5571MOO? Thank you, JHAP - wonderful.

Everyone outside my office is wondering why I'm busting a gut right now.

JHAP in CA I think step 4 also has to meet CARB (California Air Resources Board) compliance. I was under the impression that can only be done now in CA with the use of a Exhaust fluid catalyst and air fairings. Toilet Paper also must meet low rolling resistance standards as of Jan. 2013. If it is not Smart-way certified it is not permitted in CA.

Ah Tums, I see that you are familiar with some of our onerous regulations. The CARB regulations wreak havoc with construction industry.

Jeez and don't get me started on the endagered species laws in CA. One of my construction clients began a project that happen to fall with the Quino Checkerspot Butterfly habitat zone. If this butterfly is actually found on the property then for ever one acre of "Quino Habitat" impacted then four acres of property must be conserved as a mitigation requirement. As of this writing there are biologists checking every bush and shrub on the property to determine if there are any of these endangered butterflies there - and no I'm not kidding.

Makes you wonder how any construction gets done in California

Jeez, some people will complian about anything.

I'd rather have chromium [III] mercurocyanoflourocarbons in my water, fracking in my backyard, and coral mouthed rattlemoccasins in my woodpile than green sunfish in my pond.........and not one regulation against them anywhere in the state.

HMMMMM.......

Just came across this.....

[AP]-In an abrupt turn, Senator Dianne Feinstein today tabled her recently introduced legislation banning the production and sale of certain types of assault weapons and high capacity magazines. Feinstin has been called home to California by Governor Jerry Brown to personally manage what is being called the greatest threat to Californians way of life since the discovery of paraquat contaminated marijuna. "I don't know how it could have come to this", a grim Feinstein stated to reporters, "We've been so careful, so vigilent....and to think, the threat has been here under our noses the whole time".

Feinstein was referring to recent reports from Nashville TN in which the Green Sunfish, Lepomis cyanellus, has been discovered to be the most effective, voracious predator of the endangered Quino Checkerspot Butterfly.

Initial reports have Feinstein attempting to mobilize the California National Guard to meet this scourge, but later information has the Senator demanding that Airforce KC-135 tankers currently assisting in the refueling of French fighter bombers return home immediately to begin retrofitting for rotenone spraying.

To an irate French Ambassador, Feinstein was heard pleading "But don't you understand? These are BUTTERFLIES we're talking aboout! What's California without BUTTERFLIES?"

These reports are falsehoods supported by lies and negligent fact checking.

At best the GSF is only forth or fifth on the voracious predator list.

At least until we can re-engineer GSF to have wings and legs, which at present we are not working on as far as you know.

It is true however that California would be nothing without butterflies.
