Secure Pages and Private Blogs

I’ve just started a new page (called “Password = Password”) describing some of the privacy features here at myBGSUonline.com. This page requires a password to view… and as you can tell from the title, the password is “password”.

Some of this information may be found elsewhere on the myBGSUonline site or in the FAQ (I usually test, until I break the thing, then go to the FAQ). So if it needs changed, updated, or corrected please let me know.

MyBGSUonline allows user to:

• create password protected pages (not blogs) on a blog
• create more than one blog (is there a limit?)
• create private blogs visible to only:
  • the myBGSUonline community
  • or select registered myBGSUonline members
• create ePortfolio sites that may include a blog, but not as the front page

MyBGSUonline does not allow users to:

• invite non-myBGSUonline members to read their private blogs
  • and subsequently only individuals with an @bgsu.edu email can register as myBGSUonline members
• use categories (or tags) to separate posts into individual RSS feeds

Thus far we have more pro’s than cons!

Next I will test RSS feeds for private blogs in my RSS Reader (Google Reader).
