Hello  
I have a free ghost site setup. I want to make it so that only people who have a password or login and password can see my entire site, or even better, can see the site, but not see the posts? How would I do that?  
thanks  
mark

You can put the site in private mode at /ghost \> settings (gear icon) \> private

Or you can restrict access to posts in the right side menu of the post editor.
