The Coppit Family Daily News

It’s been a little over a month since Christopher’s activation, and he’s starting to respond some to sounds. When we call his name, about half the time he’ll look around for us. He can also hear (but not see) me doing “raspberries” and do them himself. A couple of days ago I took him for a walk, and the ice cream truck was coming up behind us. He heard the annoying music and turned to see what was coming.
Some day we’ll take it for granted, but for now we’re excited every time he provides definitive proof that he’s hearing.

I’ve released a new version of the Category Order Wordpress 2 plugin. This plugin allows the blog administrator to set an explicit ordering, spacing, and indentation of categories in the category list that appears in the sidebar. The administrator specifies the ordering in the new “Category Order” management page. There is also an option for placing the category post count inside the link.

New changes:

• Fixed a bug where category spacers were being ignored.
• Fixed a bug where special styles on the category list would be removed by the plugin.

A screenshot shows the management page. Download it on my code page.

I’ve released a new version of the Category Access Wordpress 2 plugin. This plugin allows the blog maintainer to restrict access to posts belonging to particular categories on a user-by-user basis.

New changes:

• Added an option to reveal the title and links for a hidden post in the feeds.
