  Hi. I’m trying to set up my new blog to be password protected but the only thing I can find related is the option in Settings for Public, Hidden or Private. Where is the option/how do I make my blog password protected? Thanks!

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

  No that option does not exist on WordPress.COM hosted sites. You can only password protect pages and posts. You cannot password protect the whole site. For that you need to hire a web host and set up a wordpress.ORG software install. See: Moving to self hosted WordPress http://move.wordpress.com
