  Hi,

  I would like to add some listings posts to my blog. I don’t want them to clog up my homepage though, or be sent out to my followers. Is it possible to add posts in this way?

  Many thanks

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

  I’ve been wondering the same thing, but my test did not work. I had made it private when I started it. Then I backdated it and made it Public, then Update and it still notified my readers. Now I have to write a post to explain this. Sigh… I hope someone knows how to do this without notifying readers.

  It used to be, but now I believe that trick no longer works. I don’t think there is a way, other than making them static Pages.

  Thanks for the reply. That’s a bummer. I was trying to figure a way to “fix” a crawl error found by Google when I deleted a category. The only thing I could think of was to recreate that category. I then wrote a post using that category, putting in a link to the new one for anyone who might be sent there through a search. I did not think that post needed to be sent to my email subscribers.
