Responsive KOTW
January 7, 2014 (Kearny, NJ) KOTW is pleased to announce an update to its website. Our content hasn't changed but our website look and feel has changed. The change is not just cosmetic. Our statistic show that increasingly visitors to KearnyOnTheWeb are using their mobile devices to access our articles. Our Discussion Board was already mobile friendly but our main website was not. Both are now mobile responsive and will scale depending upon whether you are using your PC, Iphone, Samsung Galazy, Ipad, Kindle or other tablet.
KOTW acknowledges the assistance of our technical staff in getting this monumental task accomplished. The old articles are all still there and we are continuing to work on fine tuning the website but we are proud to start off 2014 with an improved KOTW. Enjoy.
