Private vs. public setting confusion

    I do not understand the privacy settings. If I set the whole blog to private, does that trump the individual post settings? For example, I set the whole blog to private. I invited users. I set my posts to private. None of my approved users could see any of my posts. I had to change the posts to public so they could see them. But does this now mean that my blog is public? Please advise. This is very frustrating. I cannot find any information on your site that clarifies this issue.

    Making your individual posts private means that no one but you will be able to see your post content.

    However, if you set your entire blog to private via your Settings -> Privacy page, only you and the users you’ve invited will be able to see your posts.
