 * Apologies for dummy/newbie question, but how can I make some posts readable only
   by registered users, and some to be public? I don’t want to have to password 
   protect individual posts.
 * If I could make the SUMMARY public but not the “read more…” that would be the
   ultimate!
 * Thnx in advance,

 * Found a good solution for me, at least, at [http://ryowebsite.com/?p=46](http://ryowebsite.com/?p=46)
   well that wasn’t so hard after all!

 * Well, I thought I found the answer, but alas not. The above will not prevent 
   a post being found and accessed by a Search command or being listed in Recent
   Postings.
 * What I would really like is an “Access Denied” capability if the viewer is not
   authorised.
 * Any ideas???

 * I’ve considered making a new site and I need to control which pages/posts different
   users can see. I was playing with the idea of base the site on WordPress but 
   as far as I understand things it’s not possible to have this control in WP?
 * Am I correct in this assumption?
