  Can I make an entire blog private? It appears I have to do posts and pages separately, and mark each one private.

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

  You can make an entries blog private by altering the visibility under your privacy section. See 2 & 3 here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/

  It should be working. Log out and try reloading the blog in question.

  The privacy settings are not working for me. I am trying to change from private back to public. I have logged out and reloaded several times to no avail.

  Try logging out, clearing your browser cache and cookies, and restarting the computer. Then set the changes and be sure to SAVE them at the bottom of the page. That often fixes it.

  Can non-WordPress subscribers be allowed to view a ‘private’ blog?

  No. WordPress.com needs a way to track who’s allowed to read, and they use WP logins to do that.
