Is there anyway to limit who can see a Blog? I appologize if this question is stupid but if you can't tell I'm VERY new to this.

Everyone can see the Blog to whom you tell the URL to your Blog.

Maybe if you ask more specifically, I can try to answer more specifically? I don't really know what you mean

If you want to hide certain entries from the usual visitor, we have a plugin that only makes certain entries visible to logged in Authors or only yourself.

Garvin,

Thanks for following up with me... I was interested in a way to create a Blog where just my wife and I could post and view it with a little more security than just not telling people the URL. I think the plug-in you mentioned will probably do the trick. If you could point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it. As I mentioned I'm VERY new to all of this.

Thanks,
Glenn

There's a much easier solution to this: You can protect any HTTP directory by using a .htaccess protection file. If you put this in place (google for 'htaccess' and 'htpasswd') you will be able to password protect your page. This will then be valid for the whole directory + subdirectories and would for you be much better suited than hiding entries, I think.

Have fun,
Garvin

Where can I get this plug in?

The plugin is called "Extended properties of entries" and is bundled with Serendipity 0.8. If you install it in your Plugin Configuration area, you will see new advanced options in the 'Edit Entry' screen.
