I’ve officially ditched the blogspot domain and moved Emily’s blog over to cleftstories.com. I intend to change the tone of the blog to incorporate more of what’s going on out there with other kids plus cleft-related news and info. This means lots of links to lots of other blogs and websites. Thanks, Nick, for talking me into getting my own domain.
For example, Rachel (born with a unilateral cleft lip and palate) is just now learning to walk - and not even one yet! Good for you, Rachel! Rachel’s story is a great example of how parental advocacy is so important in caring for a child with a cleft. Rachel’s mom, Darcy, has been trying to get her on the schedule for palate surgery for months. Thanks to her hard work and PERSISTENCE, it looks like she finally succeeded. Way to go Darcy…and don’t fret…Emily did not get her palate surgery until she was one and she’s making great progress with speech.
I’m so excited for Cleft Stories!!!
I see that there have been a couple new babies to join the “cleft world” over there in the links, I look forward to going and reading their stories and watching them just as I’ve watched Emily for the last 10 months!!!
Looking good – try enabling the url structure so that the posts will render urls like mine – Under options => Permalink (http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks)
You can name the archives sections
/%category%/%postname%/
Which would make a url like:
http://www.cleftstories.com/Emily/no-more-soft-sip/
