  I’m trying to view an article posted on http://columbusohiosucks.wordpress.com However, I can’t seem to open the URL. It says the blog is protected, and that I have to login to view it. After successfully logging in with my username and password, I am still unable to view the blog.

  It’s a “private” blog. Your login info for your own blog will not work. Unless the Admin of the protected blog makes you an official user of that blog you will not be able to access it. See > http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/

  To be able to view the blog you will need the admin to add you as one of their readers.
