Title: Blogs
Post by: Ree on January 23, 2011, 10:51:45 AM: Does anyone know how to set up a blog where I can control just who all sees it? it must be very simple.
I feel the need to document this "trip" I'm on. But There are things I don't want just anybody to see.

Go to my blog, http://thors-spot.blogspot.com/ which I haven't done in a while and in the upper right corner of the blue strip is a "create blog" link. Click that and away you go. You could just also write it in MS Word, in a journal sort of manner.

I think LiveJournal (livejournal.com) might have an option of locking your blog to readers, but anything that is posted on the internet could probably be found and read by somebody determined enough. Thor's advise on writing in Word might be best if you are concerned about security.

I just started a blog but it's not locked down. but I could do this - http://codex.wordpress.org/Content_Visibility
