  How did a test post (“Beautiful Denver”) from my private test blog end up on the WP Reader? I hope the little padlock on it means I’m the only one who can see it, but there’s a question mark which reveals the notation “The owner of this site only allows us to show a brief summary of their content. To view the full post, you’ll have to visit their site.” I gave no such permission. Private means private.

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

  If you (or any invited viewer of a private blog) are following your own blog, the posts will show up in the reader.

  Can non-invitees to a private blog still see the posts in the reader?

  No. Only people you invite to a private blog can see it or follow in the reader.

  Thanks, rootjosh. I only just saw your reply. Thought I’d checked “notify.” Apparently not.

  No worries. Glad I could help.
