   Hi all:

   I'm new to WordPress. I have it setup an running but I want only family and friends to be able to access it. Is there anyway to force users to the default WordPress login if they try to access any page of my blog? Including the homepage?

   Is there a plugin that does this?

   Thanks,
   -Greg

   Hello Greg -

   There are a couple of steps you can take.

   1. Go to OPTIONS > Privacy, and turn on "I would like to block search engines, but allow normal visitors". This will block search engines from crawling and cataloging your pages.

   2. Then, here's a plugin that allows your blog only to be viewed by registered users (those with a password):
