Encryption on Blogger I - obfuscation

I often find myself publishing articles on Blogger / Blogspot that I do not want to be read in their entirety by everybody. I want to hide parts of them and make them available only to a select group of people, or nobody at all. If you ever feel this way, this article's for you.
