Hi!

Using the plugin "Extended properties for entries" you can define a password that a user has to enter before he can read the entry.

You can either use the plugin mentioned above to check a box "hide from frontpage" when you create/edit an entry.

The other way is to set Read/Write privileges on your categories so that only when someone is logged in they will read the category.

If you want all postings of a certain category to not appear on the startpage, you can use the "Start Page Category" event plugin.

Hi!

Hding from RSS means there will be no link to your entry. It's as if your entry wasn't there for RSS readers.
