Making blog a secured link

My college has a blog on wordpress and the administrator was talking about paying money to make the blog for secured viewing,meant that not all people could see the blog, but only those who were part of the college .

I seriously don’t agree with the idea of making a blog for secured for viewing. A blog, according to me, is a place where anybody can read your . Now when anybody makes a blog secured, not everyone can see the entries which are made, therefore the whole idea of blogging is destroyed. Instead , they could easily make a website which provides areas for keeping secured information.

Anyways convincing guys in college is like climbing Mt.Everest so I won't try and convince them.
