Members Only Blog

I had a thought on the way home: how to make a blog that only registered users can see. Basically, it will use a similar method how the template decides whether or not to show the captcha. From the Blogsome site, and my comments.html:
{if $captcha_image_URL != "" && $blog_user_level == -1}
{$captcha_hidden_form_fields}
<p>
<input type="text" name="captcha_value_typed"><img src="{$captcha_image_URL}" align="center"><br>
Anti-spam measure: please retype the above text into the box provided.
</p>
{/if}
So, we should be able to use the following code:
{if $blog_user_level == -1}
This blog is members only. Please {wp_loginout}.
{else}
All content goes here.
{/if}
Of course, you’ll want do disable just anyone from registering, else it defeats the purpose of it… I’ll try to test this on my test blog over the next couple of days.
