  I have a private blog. I am wanting to make only specific individual posts visible to specific users, how can I do this? Can I do this?

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

  P.S. the blog is halcharger.wordpress.com but of course, you won’t be able to see it as it is private, but I read elsewhere that requests for help on this topic were closed because the person didn’t include the address of the blog they were referring to, so there you go.

  I don’t know if you can do this, but you could test it: make the blog post password-protected and give only one person the password. See if it works. So, test it on a meaningless post first.

  Here’s the how-to support entry for password protected posts:

  Protected – The post is protected with a password you set. Any user that has the password can view a protected post.
  Private – Posts are only visible to blog Editors and Administrators. Private posts are not visible in Blog Surfer, feeds, or in any search. A post can be private without being password protected. http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/post-visibility/
