Passwording Posts

Posted on by

Rich commented on the fact that he wanted to know how to passcode a post in WordPress.Â? It’s actually very easy.Â? On the right-hand side of the Write Post page, there is a tab called
“Password-Protect Post”.Â? Under the tab is a box where you can type a password.Â? Just put in whatever you want the password to be and continue writing your post.Â? When you hit “Publish”, the entry appearing on your blog page will have a box where someone needs to type a password to view the entry.

If you don’t want anyone to see the entry at all, there is a “Private” option.Â? Simply go to the right-hand side tabs again and click on “Post Status”.Â? Click the bubble for “Private” and continue writing your post.Â? Hit “Save” (not “Publish”) and it will save whatever you’ve written as a private post that is only viewable to you. It doesn’t even show up on the main page unless you happen to be the person logged in to view it.Â? (It’s kind of like a “friends-only” post on Livejournal — none of the people who aren’t friended can see it.Â? Same thing with a “private” post on LJ.)

Leave any questions in the comments.

Day 5 of no heat.Â? (Well… at least no furnace.Â? The middle floor has baseboard heat and I have a space heater in my study.)

We’re out of milk until I get the courage up to brave the elements and go down to the co-op.

The furnace dude came to the middle floor entrance which means that I got a face full of snow this morning.

No LSAT scores yet.

Ash Wednesday Musings… A Day Late

Posted on by

So Ash Wednesday was yesterday and I forgot to post!Â? Then again, I’d forget my head if it wasn’t screwed on.Â? 🙂

Lent hath begun for us in the West.Â? (The Eastern Churches started on Monday.)Â? My Lenten things are…

-no meat on Fridays (and Ash Wednesday)
-crocheting bandages for Global Health Ministries
-reading Reconciliation and A Season for the Spirit by Fr. Martin Smith
-(hopefully) confessing to a priest at some point during Lent

I’ll leave you with a hymn for yesterday…

The glory of these forty days
We celebrate with songs of praise;
For Christ, by Whom all things were made,
Himself has fasted and has prayed.

Alone and fasting Moses saw
The loving God Who gave the law;
And to Elijah, fasting, came
The steeds and chariots of flame.

So Daniel trained his mystic sight,
Delivered from the lionsâ???? might;
And John, the Bridegroomâ????s friend, became
The herald of Messiahâ????s Name.

Then grant us, Lord, like them to be
Full oft in fast and prayer with Thee;
Our spirits strengthen with Thy grace,
And give us joy to see Thy face.

O Father, Son, and Spirit blest,
To thee be every prayer addressed,
Who art in threefold Name adored,
From age to age, the only Lord.
— 1982 Hymnal #143
