Help

Does anyone know how I can make my blog private but keep my friends/followers that I have?

To make the blog private, you need to go to settings, permissions and choose the option "Allow on these readers" (something of this sort).

To retain your readers, post a post requesting everyone to leave their e-mail ID's with you. Else, you could reveal your e-mail ID and request your readers to e-mail you so that you have their e-mail IDs. And, then send them all an invite.

Good luck!

You should ask Brosreview, he follows my blog- his is private and he still has his followers. Other than that I don't know the answer as to how to do that.

Well, all you have to do is go into your settings in your blog admin and check 'private'...with your choice of how many you want to be able to comment.

But the drawback is, your followers will not be able to keep track of your posts in the reader [such as google reader]

But your followers will still be on your sidebar.

PS...thanks for becoming a follower of my blog.

I will do the same with you and your blog. As soon as I click 'post comment'...I'll go and add myself to your readers!!!

Happy Wednesday.

I think you can make your blog by invitation only...it should be all in the settings...
