Make Blog Private ??
-
I was wondering if there is a way to make a (free) wordpress.com blog private or “protected” (so that only the author and certain users can see it).
I had a blog in 2012 that I made private / “protected”,
however the layout of wordpress.com has changed,
therefore causing me confusion on how to do this to my current blog.Thanks for the help! :)

You can have either a public or 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:

Nothing Found
It seems we can’t find what you’re looking for. Perhaps searching can help.There is nothing wrong with your site. By default the front page of the blog is the only page that will display all published posts on it. As soon as you publish a post not a page the front page error message and searchbox that appears on every new WordPress.COM blog will be gone. http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/

Thanks so much for the quick reply!
I don’t know how to locate Settings in the current version of wordpress.com. Do you know how to find it in this version? Sorry, I’m really new to wordpress, I stopped using my last blog in 2012, and am just starting up again.
Thanks anyways! :)
