    Wordpress has this ability. You just make the posts private

    I've seen it where the post is password-protected, so the user just enters the password for the post.

    There's a plugin out there that lets you turn a wordpress blog into a members-only site. I can't remember the name though.

    In that case, I don't know what you're looking for. It sounded like making your blog a members-only site (which would require a username and password to view, like you said) is what you wanted, and that's what WPB-PayPal v2.0 does...

    In that case, when you are writing an entry, look to the right where it says "Password-Protect Post" and type in a password that only your friends know.
