 * hello,
 * can I allow access to posts (meaning “read”) only to logged visitors? that is
   if I want to be using WP just among couple people and i dont want anyone else
   to be able to read that page just by typing its URL. can I have “login” dialog
   pop up first and then my blog to open? once they would log in, the pass could
   be safed in browser and they wouldnt be borthers each time visiting…
    thank you!

 * Look at visibility option in edit post, you can set any post to private or password
   protected.

 * I found that. Im talking more about the visibility of the whole blog…
 * plus how does “private” by post visibility option work anyway? with pass protected,
   its obvious….but who can see private?

 * I have happily used WordPress for several years but this same issue has been 
   raised time after time after time.
 * The requirement to have content only visible to logged on users seems a very 
   fundamental omission and is NOT covered by either ‘Private’ or ‘Password’.
 * I have given up asking but it is the first thing I look for hopefully in every
   new release.
 * It is a big weakness.
