  Hi there,
  I would like to set my entire blog so that only people who I have given my password to can see it. i.e. if you enter the address you’ll get to a page asking for a password before any of the posts show up.

  Is that possible?
  Thanks
  Ben

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

  Hi @bencbuchanan,

  Yup, this is definitely possible!

  What you want to do is mark your site as Private.
  To do that you go to your Dashboard –> Settings –> Privacy (you just have to scroll down).

  After that you can set up which users can view your site by invitation.

  I have included a link below for further instruction:

  Let us know if you need further assistance :)

  Cheers!
