Administrivia: Private Posts

Posted Thursday, January 3rd, 2008 by Toad

We’ve added a new feature! We Toads now have the ability to make “private” posts, for news or pictures that we would prefer kept to friends who love us at least enough to register an account on our blog. As an added bonus for our readers, registered accounts do not need to type in the funky visual codes each time you wish to comment.

Registering an account is just as easy as it sounds. Scroll down a bit; you’ll notice a new “Register” link in the Meta category. That will take you to a shiny blue and white page which will ask you for a username and an e-mail address. Once you’ve input those two pieces of information, a random password will be e-mailed the address you gave. When you come back and log in (via the “Login” link just below the register link), the Register link will be replaced by a “Site Admin” link. Contrary to its scary name, you won’t be able to make any real changes, but you will be able to change your own password, your display name, and some other handy things.

If you encounter any problems with the registration process, please let me know as soon as possible, by whatever means available to you.

Enjoy!

The Best Medicine

This evening, I dropped a stuffed “Larry the Cucumber,” and we were rewarded with hysterical laughter from Nata! This is definitely some of her most animated laughing to date.

For more laughing, check out the other video!

Tiny Dancer

For the last day or two, Natalie has been gracing us with her newest trick: dancing! She loves to groove to fun tunes, and will play them on her music table just to dance to them.

This is a short and sweet video that we got of her dancing last night before she noticed the camera and headed for it. The dancing is just for a few seconds right at the beginning, so don’t blink! Enjoy!

Flower Girl

Halloween came and went without much excitement for us this year– we all three have colds! But I couldn’t resist dressing Natalie up in her costume for some pictures. She wasn’t too thrilled with the hat and was plotting her escape.

Natalie is 8 months old today! She crawls all over the place at full speed and pulls herself up on everything. She follows us all over the house. It’s nice to know that she can go wherever she wants but still wants to hang out with us. 🙂

New haircut!  Should have done this ages ago.
