Permissions and privacy

Most Blogger users create sites they would like to be public, which anyone can see on the
web. This setting is enabled by default when you create a new blog.

Making your blog private

If you would prefer your blog to remain private, you can easily change this option in
Settings>Basic. Scroll down to the “Permissions” section and choose from the following
options:
• Anybody – the default setting, enabling anyone to view your blog
• Only Blog Authors – this ensures your blog is completely private, and that only the
authors you choose to add will be able to see your posts.
• Only These Readers – In this area you can add the email addresses of those with
whom you would like to share your posts, Separate multiple email addresses with
commas. Up to 100 blog readers can be added in this section, which should be
more than ample for a reputable private blog!
For each email address you enter in the “Only these readers” section, the person will
receive an email prompting them to do one of three things:
1. Sign in to an existing Google account
2. Create a new Google account (with which to login to Blogger)
3. View your blog as a guest

If the reader creates or logs into their Google account, they will be able to view your blog
whenever they are logged in. Invited readers may only view your blog as a guest for a
period of two weeks using the link sent in the email, after which you will need to invite
them again if they would like to view your posts.

• Tip: If you choose to make your blog private, your site will not produce any blog feeds

(thus preventing unwanted viewing of your posts).
To revoke a reader's access to your blog, simply click the “X” button beside the person's
name. Blogger saves your list of invited readers if you choose to change the readership
setting to “anybody”, allowing you to quickly make your blog private again at a later time.
