Make your Blogsome Blog Private
Posted in the evening, filed under Blogsome , Smarty Templates.It’s possible to create a private post within Blogsome, but not a whole private blog.
However, if you turn off allowing registration, you can make your blog private.
In your Main Page template, find the line that has {$content} on it.
Just before the line, insert the following lines:
{capture name=loginout}{wp_loginout}{/capture}
{if $smarty.capture.loginout|strip_tags:'0' == "Logout"}
And then, after it, insert the following lines:
{else}
<p>This Blog is Private. Please {wp_loginout} before continuing</p>
{/if}
This will then prevent non logged-in users from viewing your posts.
But all ppl can still read the posts via the feed…

Good point.
You could remove the feed from the page header, which would stop most people.
You could also only show Summary in your feed and make the summary blank, or perhaps only show the last 0 articles. I haven’t tested either of these methods.
Finally, if that doesn’t work, you could go into the advanced options, and make the excerpt 1 character long.

Your idea is real smart!

I think you mean “This will then prevent NON logged-in users from viewing your posts.”
