    How do I aoolw people who read my blog to enter their email address and other possible data into the blog without having those data appear on the blog for others to see. I wasn to keep these data private.

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

    If this is about the autofilled information in a contact form or a comment box note that your information is visible to you when you are logged in and have not cleared your browser cache and cookies. No one else can see it.

    When someone makes a comment on your blog, unless they have cleared their cookies, WordPress.com will recognize them and complete the details for them. No one else will be able to view those details in comment boxes or in contact forms. The next person who comments will see blank fields. Commenters will not see each others details.

    Also note that the Admin [edit] link is only for your convenience and the convenience of your Editors, if you have any. And only you and your editors can see it and use it while you are logged in to WordPress.com.

    By autofill do you mean something like a text box with a label? So if I had something like
    First name ____________________
    Last name____________________ etc

    That the reader can key in their response and it will be available only to me?
    If so, how do you define the input area on a page?
