  I have my privacy settings set to “private” and yet I still have traffic who seem to have been able to read my latest post. Is that traffic stat accurate or are my privacy settings not correct? sweetlybroken.wordpress.com is the site I’m referring to.

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

  The blog is private and this is what I see:

  http://sweetlybroken.wordpress.com/ is marked private by its owner. You can:

  Request access to view the site. We’ll send your username to the site owner for their approval.
  Log out and sign in as different user. You’re logged in as ‘timethief’.
  Learn about privacy settings.

  ← Back to WordPress.com

  The hits that only pull up that warning box like mine when I clicked the URL do get recorded but we cannot read the blog content.

  Thank you so much for checking. You are by far the best group of support people on this planet, so prompt and so incredibly kind to less than brilliant users.
