I will do the occasional password protected post for this reason. My family and friends read my blog, as do colleagues- so if I need to blow a gasket or get something off my chest it gets a password.

I sometimes just type it in a normal document and then delete it, but that sort of defeats the objective and then I have daaaayyyyssss of not posting anything on my blog, so that’s not a solution either.

This is your blog and you have created this space to let go… emotionally, verbally, (as in type) about what is happening in your life and how it affects you. Only password protect the piece if it will hurt you (as in there may be repercussions) Otherwise… if people don’t want to read… then they should stay away.

I agree password protect if you think it may offend someone or if it is personal and for your friends eye’s only. I also write a draft, save it and read it a few days later – most of the time I end up deleting it.

I password protect and post private posts – when it is just for my eyes. It the end of the day, you don’t want to hurt anyone – but you need an out!

This is also a huge issue for me and the reason my blog is pretty bland. And I have yet to reach the point where I say “sod it” and just write what I’m thinking.
Unfortunately, Blogger doesn’t have a password protected post option, and I’m actually seriously thinking about switching to WordPress because of this. Problem is I’m a bit clueless and don’t have the time/inclination to learn new tricks right now…

Anyway, my point is that not blogging about it is extremely frustrating – almost defeats the purpose of having a personal blog…
Password protect the posts you don’t want the whole world to see and allow yourself the space to vent.

I password protect my posts if they are of a sensitive nature, iether to me or to someone who may feel hurt by reading it. Sometimes though I write a post and it never gets published, just writing it down is enough…
