  I want to make my blog available to members of my housing co-operative only. What about a widget that will require visitors to log in before they can see the blog?

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

  You can set your whole blog to private. Then invite the members of your co-op to read your blog. Each will need a WordPress.com account (they do not need a blog, just an account). They will have a username identified with their email address: the email address identifies who is allowed to view your private blog.

  3. I would like my blog to be visible only to users I choose – Select this option to create a private blog. If you want others to be able to view your private blog (and add comments, if you’ve enabled them) you’ll need to invite them to be a viewer.

  Thanks 1Tess, I guess I didn’t understand the instructions properly. Thank you for putting me right.
