The Private Room

Some work is not ready for strangers. A manuscript in progress, a family update, a draft I want a few trusted people to argue with.

Anything labelled Private moves behind a door. To open it, you request access with your name and email, and I approve each request myself. Until then, the content does not exist for you.

It does not exist for machines either. Private pages are rendered only on request, for a signed-in member. They are excluded from the sitemap, the feeds and the agent files. Every response carries a noindex instruction, and known crawlers are turned away at the door even if they hold a link.
