 * Hello, I have been writing my blog posts on my Desktop and then uploading and
   publishing them on my WordPress site. I’m now thinking of drafting the posts 
   on my blog’s Content space, instead. That would enable me to test them out at
   different stages before making them public.
 * Obviously, I’d need to keep the drafts inaccessible to others until I’ve finalized
   them and made them public. I understand that I can do so through the Visibility
   tab – Can’t I? – by using the “Private” or “Password protected” option.
 * Could anyone tell me about the advantages and disadvantages of each of the two
   options?
 * Thank you.

 * Draft Posts are not availabel to the general public by default. So, in theory,
   you wouldn’t need to do anything to keep them pivate.
