  Hi folks – I just changed the site visibility on my blog to “private, only visible to myself and users I choose”.

  But what about the 16 people who had ‘followed’ my blog when it was visible to the public? Will they see my future posts?

  Thanks in advance!

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

  If you have followers on your blog, they will no longer be able to view your site by visiting it directly unless you invite them as a viewer.

  Thank you – so, just to check, they will definitely NOT get notifications of my new posts?

  Others than people who are invited as Viewers, no.
  Assuming that you don’t have any, new posts are not sent out to your previous subscriber list.
  The only people who will be able to subscribe to your private site are the people you’ve invited to view it.
