  Your blog is private as a whole, so even though the posts are “public,” they’re protected under your blog’s privacy.

  The private visibility option is designed for blogs that are public as a whole, but need a few private posts.

  thx. huh, so i kinda feel if that’s the case, then if the blog is private, you should be able to make a couple public posts =s do you mind double-checking my blog and seeing if you can see the post about seven so and so *i forget off the top of my head. thx.

  As a Happiness Engineer, I can see the post.

  However, as a normal user, I see a screen notifying me that the blog is private and to login if I have access.

  This is how it should be. If you want a private blog with a few public posts, what you’ll need to do is make the blog public overall and set the desired private posts as such.
