How do I require readers to login first? Reader authenication

How do I require readers to login prior to reading my blog? I want the content to only be seen by select family and friends.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

I am writing this blog for family and friends and want individuals reading this information to login prior to reading it. How is that achieved?

You cannot set up a membership by registration site on a WordPress.com blog. That being said, you can have a private blog and there is no limitation on the total number of contributors to any blog. If you’d like to invite others to publish posts or help approve comments on your blog, you can invite them to be a Contributor, Editor, or Author. If you want users to receive updates each time you publish new content you can invite them to be a follower/viewer.
To change blog visibility to private go to > Settings > Reading scroll to Blog Visibility and choose option 3 . See the guide here http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/
Then see here:
http://en.support.wordpress.com/adding-users/ and here http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/They need to register username accounts but do not need to register blogs. They will need to click the “Accept Invitation” button in the invitation email. If they are logged into their WordPress.com account, they will be taken directly to your blog. If not, they will be taken to the log-in screen, where they can either log in or create a new user account.
Note that users who create a new WordPress.com account at that point will still need to return to the invitation email and click the “Accept Invitation” button after doing so.
The limit is 10 invitations at any point in time. It’s a spammer prevention limit. So simply wait and then send out 10 more.
