I’m happy to see people registering! Yay! I asked if people can see my protected post and I guess no one can. Ya, it helps if I actually read the directions. I guess WordPress has “private” posts that only I can read and password protected that have one general password to access. I don’t like that option, especially because password protected entries show up as an entry announcing that you can only read the entry is you have the password. It’s kind of like shouting”I have a secret!”
So I’m looking into the possiblity of posts that can only be read by registered and logged in users (my original misunderstood intention).
In my searching, I realized WordPress probably doesn’t have this option because their target audience is different from LiveJournal’s. WordPress’ target is people that want popular, well known blogs. LJ’s audience is people that want more privacy and control over their posts. I would guess that’s because LJ’s audience is younger, even though LJ denies that.
