feature: allow private blogs

[rishyak]

It would be neat if it was possible to mark blogs as private so they don't appear on the /blog/ page.

I understand this feature can be emulated by not exposing /blog/ on your navbar.

Here's what I came up with:

• Remove /blog/ from your nav bar
• Religiously use tags in your posts
• Embed blog post lists ({{ posts|tag:"news" }}) in various pages

However, it's a fairly cumbersome process, and anyone can just go to /blog/, which defeats the purpose.

Instead, being able to mark some posts as private to prevent them from being seen on the post list would be quite nice. I know that this can also be emulated by making multiple "pages". However, that prevents using cool Bearisms like embedding post lists.

Here are a few neat features this "private" feature could have:

• Prevents web crawling
• Not discoverable by default

Hey @rishyak, if you set the is_page: true attribute for a post it will behave as described. This won't show up in your posts feed or using the embedded post list, since the blog treats it as a page.

In terms of preventing web crawling you can set that by modifying the robots.txt file in Settings/Advanced Settings in your dashboard.

Thanks for the suggestions, but for future suggestions please use the feature request board. I like to keep Github issues for bugs :)
