  Hi,

  Is it possible to create a Private Blog, but link it to our web site so that others can view it?

  Hope to hear from someone soon!

  Sincerely,
  blakely bear

  It’s possible to have a private blog. The information is found here in the FAQs http://faq.wordpress.com/2006/05/07/can-i-password-protect-my-whole-blog/
  Private blogs do not have rss feeds and placing a link on your website is possible but would be counterintuitive. http://faq.wordpress.com/2006/10/23/feeds-and-password-protected-blogs/

  Do you mean if I put a link on our web site to the private blog no one would be able to see it because it was password protected?

  Quote from the information linked to above:

  Note 1: There is no ‘password’. The blog is linked to a login so a person you have added will see the blog as normal and anyone else will be prompted for a password.
  A non-wordpress.com user will see a screen saying:
  This blog is protected, to view it you must log in.
