 * My Protected posts are not requiring the password. They even show up on the RSS
   feeds.
 * Some of my first protected posts still required passwords, but the more recent
   ones were posted publicly. I just had to change them all to private. But I want
   others to be able to access them.
 * What should I be checking or unchecking to have the blog require a password for
   my password protected posts?
 * Thanks in advance for any helpful suggestions.

 * Now, log out of your blog and view the front page again.
 * If you’re logged in as admin or author you’re going to see those protected posts.
   I visited your blog and didn’t see ’em.

 * I had to clear my internet files. I should have tried that first.
 * Thanks
