Can I make my whole journal Friends-only or Private?

InsaneJournal doesn't yet provide any means to change all of your past journal entries from Public to Friends-only or Private with one command. You must edit each post (http://www.insanejournal.com/support/faqbrowse.bml?faqid=2), changing the security level on each individual entry. See http://www.insanejournal.com/support/faqbrowse.bml?faqid=63 for details about the various security settings.

Many clients available for download include the ability to edit journal entries. This may speed up the process of converting your previous entries to Friends-only or Private. For more information on your preferred client, consult its documentation or its menu options. You can download a client at http://www.livejournaljournal.com/download/ . (Note that not all LiveJournal clients are supported by InsaneJournal.)

InsaneJournal does provide the means to set a minimum security level on all posts you may make in the future. Setting this option will prevent you from slipping up and posting a public entry that you meant to post as Friends-only or Private. You will still be able to post an entry with a lower security setting by posting it with the minimum security you have set, then editing it to change the security setting.

To set the minimum security level of all future entries in your journal, log in (http://www.insanejournal.com/login.bml) and go to the Admin Console (http://www.insanejournal.com/admin/console/) and execute the following command:

set newpost_minsecurity <level>

Do not enter the < or > symbols; these are only for reference purposes. To set the minimum security level to Friends-only, replace <level> with "friends". To set the minimum security level to Private, replace <level> with "private". To turn off the minimum security level, replace <level> with "public".

*

If you maintain a community, you can set the minimum security level to "friends only" by executing the following command:

set for <community> newpost_minsecurity friends

Do not enter the < or > symbols; these are only for reference purposes. Replace <community> with the username of the community.
