ExplorOz Key
The ExplorOz Key is a new tool which allows you to "lock" information that you have submitted to the ExplorOz
Blogs system, so that only those that have the password can read your blog entries.
![Set-up ExplorOz Key]()
Set-up ExplorOz Key
To set up an ExplorOz Key, click on the "My Profile" tab, and enter a password into the ExplorOz Key field. This can be anything you like (no character requirements). Once you have entered the password, click update.

Edit Blog Security Options
There are two options available for "locking"
blogs with the ExplorOz Key. The first is to selectively lock
blogs when you create them. There is a check box at the bottom of the blog edit page, tick this to lock the blog entry you are submitting only.
If you want all of your future
blogs to be locked, there is a checkbox on the "My Profile" tab, check this and click update, all future
blogs you submit will be locked.
![Locked Blog Entry]()
Locked Blog Entry
To access a locked blog, the ExplorOz Key must be entered. The easiest way for you to direct your friends and family to your Blog is to go to your Public Profile page and click on the email function. Enter the appropriate email addresses, and compose a message stating that this is where they can find all of your blog entries, and include the password.
You can of course communicate this via your own email account, or other means, just ensure that you supply them with the URL of your Public Profile (copy and paste out of the address bar) and ExplorOz Key, alternatively you could instruct them to search for you from the "Find a Person" page, found in the Members Section.
