Restricting Content Access

    I would like to restrict certain content to people whom I have chosen. Is there any way to do this? I’ve tried using Google doc and set to private access, but that doesn’t help, for when Google doc is publish on web, then everybody who has access will be able to see it.

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

    You can either restrict the entire blog by setting it to private and only allowing (logged in) users whom you have chosen to view it, or you can password protect individual posts and only those with the password can view the content.

    BTW, to password protect a post, you click the “edit” button next to “visibility: public” in the publishing widget on the post creation/edit page.

    To change the visibility of your blog to “private”, block all search engine access, and make it available only to those you select. please see here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/

    I want to make the blog as public as possible, but just wanted to hide some information, where only those I accept to view it. So how could I do it? Must I only use Post to do it? or could I just include in in a page, where those who log in, and I know who they say they are, only able to see the content, whilst others still can see, but not the whole content. Can I do anything like this?
