Can someone tell me how to make my journal friends only? I can't figure it out.

Thanks! :-)

OK when you sign in, Go to the "Manage" tab to where it highlights and then click the "info" part. then Scroll down a little ways and it has an option for "who can read my journal" and choose friends only instead of everyone which is what it is on now. If you have any trouble give me a call. SMILE :)

i didn't know you could do it that way, i thought you just had to do it everytime you posted something.

Friends-only Solution.... heavensfalcon May 6 2006, 13:14:53 UTC
Yeah, the friends-only option is not there, but you need to do something else.

You need to individually go back to each and every entry yourself. That can't be helped. For future entries, go to the admin console (http://www.livejournal.com/admin/console/), while logged in, and type "set newpost_minsecurity [level]"

In the level box(take out level and replace), type one of the following friends, private or public. Obviously, type friends for Friends-Only, private for Private, and public for Public.

Oh yeah, and if you want to, create your own Friends-only banner and post that as your public post...

Hope that Helps....:)

P.S. if you need anymore help, let me know.

but also on future entries theres a drop down box that says public, private and friends only so you can just pick friends only.

True, but if you just plain and simple want your LJ Friends-only, then you can input the value in the Admin Console...it's your choice...

I do the drop box for just friends only...And then you just post your Friends-only banner as a public post and BINGO!!!! There ya go...

Ok, an addendum(sp?)...

you must type in the Admin console

set newpost_min security [level]

and, omitting the level and it's surrounding brackets, type in place of that: friends, public, or private. It is the minimum security level...if you want the min to be friends, then no one can read it without being a mutual friend...hence, your Friends-only journal...

As for what you should type, if you're still wondering, type:

set newpost_min security friends
