 * Hi there guys.
 * This is a basic question, but when writing and creating a post, if I select the
   option on the right hand side of the post to “keep the post private” what does
   that do? Does that mean only people signed up to my blog to add comments can 
   see that post? Or does that mean that only I can see that post?
 * Also, is there a search feature on this forum where I can find out if my question
   has been asked before? I don’t want to repeat a question if you good people have
   already answered it before a couple of times.
 * Thanks in advance.
 * Have a great day.

 * Search box at left in center of pages.
    Clicking on “Docs” at top right menu 
   gives a searchable function for the entire Codex.
 * For example from codex:
    [http://codex.wordpress.org/Write_Post_SubPanel](http://codex.wordpress.org/Write_Post_SubPanel)
 * > Save as Private
   >  Private posts are completed posts that are never intended 
   > for public consumption. Only you (and anyone with direct MySQL database access)
   > will be able to read the post.
