  How do I make my blog private? I’ve looked at your help guide but when I go to settings->reading I don’t see the same options.

  I don’t want to delete it but would like it to be private.

  Thanks.

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

  Are you the owner/administrator of the blog?

  3. I would like my site to be private, visible only to myself and users I choose
  – Select this option to create a private blog. If you want others to be able to view your private blog (and add comments, if you’ve enabled them) you’ll need to invite them to be a viewer.

  We provide support only for blogs being hosted WordPress.COM and not for WordPress.ORG software installs. You are posting to the wrong support forum.

  WordPress.com and WordPress.org are completely separate and different http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, so you can post to the support forums there and receive advice from WordPress.ORG bloggers.
