Blog post settings
In addition to being able to edit your post or remove your post from the blog, you have the option to Make private. This option makes the relevant post invisible to anyone who views the blog if it has been shared either with people, to the web, or for assessment.
Displaying Posts
Above your top post you will see a Displaying drop-down menu. This defaults to show your Latest Posts but you can also choose to veiw posts by year or to view them All. Sometimes users think they have lost older posts and it is simply that they are not all being displayed at once. Older posts can be viewed via this dropdown.
