I need to create a closed list of people who can view my blog
-
I need to create a closed list of people who can view my blog. I don’t want it to be public or appear in any searches.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
-
Start by making the blog visibility private http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/
Then see:

You can make it a private blog, so it is only viewable by you and whoever you choose. The other people will need a WordPress.COM account to view your blog, and will need to be authorised by you. You can change your settings at Settings -> Reading page. Click on the I want to make my blog private option.
You can add people using their usernames (of their WordPress.COM accounts) or emails in the Users -> Invite new section. More information here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/adding-users/#invite-people-to-view-your-private-blog

Can invite people who don’t have worldpress accounts? Just a friend who is a Yahoo! user?

They will have to get a WordPress.com account in order to view the blog, but you can Invite them using their email address: then they click “Just give me an account” instead of the “Gimme a blog” button during the sign up process. They need the account so that WP.com can identify them.
