  Hi. I might need to temporarily password-protect my blog for copyright reasons. If I end up having to do that, is there any way of leaving a sticky post or something else visible, so that I can tell the readers what is going on, so they can see why the site is protected? Otherwise it’s going to look weird to readers if and when I do that. … Would appreciate any hints, although I suspect it’s an either or, and this won’t work.

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

  There is not way to password protect a blog.
  You can password protect posts and pages only.

  But I guess the solution would be to make the blog private. Thanks.
