 * Instead of password-protecting certain entries I would prefer to assign restricted
   entries to a particular character that is only viewable by registered members.
   Is this possible?

 * There’s been a lot of discussion about this in the last month or so.
    The quick
   way is to mark those entries as status=private, and thus filter them from unregistered(
   or user_level<[some number here]) users. The private/draft stuff has been discussed
   in depth in other posts. Let me know if you need me to cobble together another
   posting.. 😉 -d [http://www.chait.net](http://www.chait.net)

 * Hi:
    I apologize, but I’ve looked over several of your postings regarding this
   issue and seem to find conflicting (to a newbie) pieces of code. Some require
   editing config, others require editing config and blog-header, still others say
   to replace whole sections of code while others limit to one line. I would be 
   most grateful if you could “cobble it all together” into this one posting. All
   I need is that the author should be able to see his private posts on the main
   page, not just on the edit page, while to all other users they are hidden. If
   however, if you think it more useful to do it using some sort of ranking system,
   like one of the prior posts on this subject, that would be great as well. Thanks
   so much for considering this!
