How to Make a Password Protected Section of a WordPress Blog

1. Go to your blog's Dashboard. Navigate to wordpress.com, log in, point to 'My Blogs,' then the blog you want to use, then 'Dashboard.'
2. Click the arrow next to either 'Pages' or 'Posts' in the left column of the Dashboard, depending on what you want to create. A post is a simple blog post that appears on a particular page of your blog; a page is a separate section of the blog, which may contain posts itself. Click 'Add New' under whichever one you choose.

3. Click the 'Edit' link next to 'Visibility' on the right side of the screen. This will bring up several options regarding the post or page's privacy settings. By default, this option is set to 'Public.'
4. Click 'Password protected.' A text box will appear allowing you to enter a password. Enter whatever you want, then click 'OK.' You can now design your post or page however you want, and click 'Publish' when you're done. Anyone trying to view this section of your blog will be prompted to enter the password you set.
