Hello!
I am using wordpress for a biz i’m working on. As of today its still public, but i’m thinking about making it private and i have two quetion. if ANYONE can help me, please i need it!! i’m about a low tech as one can get, and thi blog is my equivelant of brain surgery. here’s my three concerns/issues/needs:

1.PASSWORD PROTECTED: my blog is currently public. i would like to make it private though, in order to show more priveleged info to my customers. however, i’m nervous about making it private because i dont want this to be a hurdle that will keep customers away. so, i want to use a password every customer can use and not forget. the last thing i want to do is block them from the info i desperately want them to see.

2.PDF: if i do go private, i want to have some PDF files available for download. is that something i could do on wordpress? if so how? basically i have these “order forms,” so ideally i would have something like “..Ready to purchase an order? Click here to download the PDF.” So, is this possible? If so, how the heck would i do that?

3.NEW EMAIL: i’ve been using a gmail account for this blog. however, tonight i upgraded and actually bought a domain of my own. now instead of: wholesaleczar.wordpress.com its just: wholesaleczar.com So, here’s my question. Is it possible for me to create a: info at wholesaleczar.com or dan at wholesaleczar.com? if thats possible, how do i do that? is it involved with wordpress or that domain company wordpress sent me to?

When i read instructions on here, i feel like it a different language. there’ so many words/phrases that i dont even understand. o if i dont understand the jargon, how can i digest the info? any help? THANKS FOR READING!!! : )

It’s not a good Idea to add emails to a support forum because the spam bots will have fun spamming your email address.

Correct you don’t have editing permission so I went ahead and took care of editing the emails in your posts I left the 2 emails in your post and replaced the @ with “at” and spaced it from the wording.

It is a good idea, however, to read the Terms of Service you agreed to in order to have a non-commericial, no-ads blog for free. This support doc is a good thing to read too.

Yeah, thanks for that. I’m not actually selling anything on the blog, just using it as a “virtual showroom.” its not like anyone could order from my site. i set it up for shop owners who are interested in carrying one of my brands. its just to generate interest, from what i read i thought that was cool. so when i talk to a new shop owner for the first time, i dont have to pound his/her inbox with pdf files, they can just visit my blog and then we can talk over phone about their interests. i read the aforementioned link, i think i’m ok, i dont use any of those services, and certainly not trying to trick the search engine’s to make a million a day!!

thanks again for your help

any thoughts on how to make a password thats easy to use?

Just to make sure, I would run it by staff to make sure. You don’t want to find out too late that it might be an issue.
