The Coppit Family Daily News

In order to make kids safe from wierdos on the big bad Internet, I’ve password-protected posts about Christopher and pictures of him and other kids. In order to get access, do the following:

1. Go to the register page for this blog.
2. Create a username and enter your email address. The blog will email you a temporary password.
3. Use the password to log in. Enter any additional information so I know who you are, in case your username isn’t obvious. Also be sure to change your password to something that is easy to remember.
4. Wait for an email from me saying that I’ve given you access.
5. Afterwards, go back to the blog and you should see posts about Christopher. You should also be able to see pictures about him in the photo album.

I’ve released Category Levels 0.2.0. You can now remove categories from the category list in the sidebar, if the user does not have sufficient privileges. You can also customize the showing of padlock and user levels independently.

There’s still one outstanding issue: If you show the number of posts next to the monthly archives, the total will not be reduced by the number of hidden posts. I’ve submitted a feature request to the Wordpress folks so that I can implement this.

The hiding categories functionality requires Wordpress 1.5.2. The plugin should work otherwise for prior versions of Wordpress.

Get the new version here.

Tonight we gave Christopher his first solid food. At first he was pretty revolted by it. But it grew on him fairly quickly.
