## Default Blog Visibility for Reader
As mentioned previously, only certain blogs can also be published to the reader. Those blogs are on a particular blog visibility setting - "Public." If you don't want people to have to mess with those settings themselves, you can make the default blog visibility "Public.' That way anyone who creates a blog will have their blog posts show up in the Reader. To make this setting, stay in the "Settings" of the _Admin Dashboard_ and scroll down to the "Default blog visibility" option. Here you will want to set it to "Public" (if it isn't already) and then and select "Save Changes."

## Setting Reader as Landing Page
You can configure the Reader to be the landing page for your WriteFreely site, whether someone is logged in or out of it. In the "Settings" of the _Admin Dashboard_ will be a "Landing Page" option. All you need to do is type in "/read" and click "Save Changes." This now means that you will be taken to the Reader when you access the WriteFreely site's URL.

## Setting the Reader to Private
If the posts on your Reader should only be for those on your WriteFreely site to read, you can make your site "Private." This means that all blogs and posts, including the Reader, will only be readable by others who are logged in. This setting option is in the "Settings" on your _Admin Dashboard_. Scroll down until you see "Private Instance." Click to enable and then select "Save Changes." If anyone tries to access the Reader while logged out, they will be taken to your site's "Log in" page.
