Feature request: better privacy options
-
It looks like I basically have two options for privacy. Either 1) I mark the *entire blog* as private, and then only users I explicitly invite can see anything at all, or 2) I give individual posts a password, which causes this ugly password-entry box to show up in lieu of a post, tipping people off that there’s something they’re not seeing.
What I’d like is for the occasional post to be private, not the whole blog, but without that password entry box coming up on the posts.
Some possible solutions:
1. Provide both a main blog link that will take you to the blog with private posts hidden, and a “guest pass” link that I can hand out that would take users to the blog and show all the private posts, or just the ones I associated with that link (They do this on Flickr and I think it works pretty well). Or the password option as it exists now works pretty well, except that I really don’t like that “password” placeholder.
2. Let me invite certain users to see the private posts – just like how a private blog works now, except let me mark *posts* as private, rather than the whole blog.
3. Since I’m primarily concerned with quasi-“adult” content and offending those that might be offended by such – a way to mark a post (again, not the whole blog) as “mature” and let registered users explicitly consent to seeing such content would be another way to go about it.

re [2]:
there’s so called a “Subscriber” user role — can possibly be enabled with “read_private” capability [which doesn’t exists yet].
