  Hi,
  I would like to create a private blog however have a single page available to the public as a ‘sign up page’ where people may fill out a form to sign up to my blog following my approval. Is this possible?

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

  There’s a workaround, because it’s not literally possible to have one public post on a private blog.

  Assuming you don’t want to password-protect every post (because that would look ridiculously cheesy) you’ll need TWO blogs: one public, and one private. The public one has only a static page with a contact form on it; that’s your sign up page. Then you Invite them to be readers of your private blog.
