  I really appreciate WordPress for their awesome works and support, I thank you in advance for rectifying a means of making Membership Plugins so bloggers can also have a little of a private world and making the community more fun and professional, you know you’ve so many concepts coming in for you to deal with and satisfy but the creatthis Membership Plugin would be awesome, this is my own contribution, you check; if wordpress bloggers got Membership Plugins, it would be an edge over other blog hosts_ anyways think about it.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  I don’t know whether WP.com is planning to add this function. But if you want a members area for now, a workaround is to create two blogs. One public, one private. eg yourdomain.wordpress.com and membersyourdomain.wordpress.com.

  Have a very visible link on each to the other so members can easily hop between them. You can use the same theme and design on both if you want and in practice I think most members wouldn’t even notice the two sites are in fact separate. (Though I’m planning to have the same theme on both of mine but a different colour scheme. So I always know which I’m on when I’m adding material and don’t accidentally publish private material to the public site.)

  The public site could also have a “register” link eg to a page with an application form. When you receive that, you go into Users on the private site and send them an invitation.

  I agree with you though, it would be great if WP.com could build in an option for members’ areas.
