Have you ever wanted to create a post or page in WordPress for your eyes only, or perhaps the eyes of a selected group only? If so, you should find this tutorial helpful. In this tutorial we’ll go over how to password protect posts in WordPress.
How to Password Protect Posts in WordPress
To start, in your wp-admin, create a new post or page by going to “posts > add new” or “page > add new.”
In the Publish panel, there is an option called “Visibility” that is set to make your posts public by default. To change this option to password protected, click “Edit” next to Visibility in the Publish panel. Next select “Password protected.”
Now, enter your desired password into the Password box and click “OK.”
After you publish your post, WordPress will prompt you for the password on the password protected post. After you have done this once, WordPress will securely store the password with your browser so that you don’t have to enter it again.

I don’t think this can be done with Blogger Christie. You can however make your posts private.
Hi Tiffany!
Here’s a blogging question unrelated to the content of your post. Ha! I’m keeping you on your toes, girl!
So, here’s what I did: I hovered over the picture at the top of the page and selected “Pin It” and added it to Pinterest. When I looked at the bottom of the page, the Pinterest icon didn’t reflect the pin I had just done. So, I clicked that icon and added the Pin that way. Then, the number next to the icon registered that this post had been pinned.
Now, here’s my question: is there a way to make Pinning the post from any available means register on the little icon at the bottom of the post?
I had always been under the impression that the number next to the icon represented ALL pins, not just those made by clicking that particular icon.
Silly question, probably, but I’m curious!

Hi Wren! Not a silly question at all. It does represent all pins from all sources. I’ve noticed that the numbers aren’t always accurate though. So that’s probably what you’re seeing.
