Updated my WordPress Passwording to Using Members Only
Today I was looking at the fact that my old WordPress passwording scheme was not looking the way it should - clearly from lack of updates and support, and so I went on a search for a better plug-in for password protecting my blog. What I found was Members Only which is a nice plug-in that requires that users have accounts on the blog to read postings, and presents them with the login box if they go to the URL for a posting. Once the authentication is done, it's back to the requested page for a minimum of fuss. It's nice in that it's tied into the regular WordPress accounts. The old one had a single password and to give that to everyone wasn't really a good plan. Better now that I can have accounts and allow them to maintain the passwords, etc.
It's going to make it a lot easier to maintain the blog while allowing those people I know to be able to read the posts without exposing myself to any unnecessary legal exposure. It seems like a very nice balance.
