How to setup a free blog

How can I setup a membership site with a public blog? I want everybody to be able to read my post on the blog without having to register.

And I use pages for the membership

Thanks for helping me

In principle, you could just set all pages to be protected, and leave all posts unprotected.

The problem with doing that is that it then becomes difficult to set the Login Welcome Page and Membership Options Page, because s2Member expects them both to be pages, yet they can’t be protected. Yet you probably don’t want to be adding protection to each page manually as you create it.

What I have done in such cases is add one or more custom page types to be used for the protected pages. The you can set s2Member to protect all such pages, and still set the LWP and MOP without a problem.

I don’t see a problem here. s2Member won’t restrict access to anything unless you create restrictions for that content. So, if you don’t restrict your blog posts, they will be publicly available. Am I missing something?
