    • Bulk Slug and Description update
    • Category import
    • Easy stats
    • Hackadelic sliding notes
    • Improved simpler CSS
    • Login redirect
    • My link order
    • WordPress video plugin
  • Convert topic grid into text formatted for category import
  • Paste text into category import, test to make sure it lays out properly and then add categories
  • Add “Press this” tool to browser bookmark bar, rename to match topic
  • Open subject outline page on CALI website
  • Follow link to each Lesson and use “Press this” tool to add Lesson description to blog. Link each Lesson to the category it matches
  • For podcasts, use the short tag to embed a payer linked to the MP3.
