  1. Your whole page? No you can not 360 is not like Myspace. You can however set your blogs, profile and interests to your friends only.


  2. You can set it up so people can only see your nickname, your profile pics (with some miscellaneous link functions under that), friends module, Top Page comments (unless you delete all of them), and your background. If that's not private enough, then you should use another service.

    This is what makes Yahoo! 360 unique - the ability to set permissions for just about everything.

    1) Click your "Settings" link at the top of your 360 space. The first page is Basic Info.

    Go to Yahoo! Identity Display under your "Settings" link and select the first circle.

    For all sections, change your permissions to "Friends" by clicking on the dropdown list to the right.

    Do not check that you want to be in the directory.

    Click the "Save and Continue" button at the bottom.

    Then, go to your "Communication Settings" (upper left of page) and make sure that your settings are set to "Friends." NOTE: Doing that permission makes it difficult for people outside your invited Friends to communicate with you. You can always change it later.

    Do the same permission setting for your "Blog Settings" (also on the upper left of "Settings" page). You can set it to "Just Me (Private), if you like, although that means only you would be able to see the blog area though.

    2) Go to any other content module on your "My Page" and click the "Settings/Edit" link on the upper right of that module to choose privacy options the same way that you did in the other areas. Don't forget to do so for your Top comments and blast. You can prevent people from posting Top Page comments, but you can't prevent them from being viewed by the public. See more about the Top Page comments here:

    Doing #1 & #2 should make you private - as in only people you invite or accept invites from will see the non-automatically public areas of your 360 space. They will show up in Friends module on your top page and become listed on your "My Friends" page.

    Make sure to check how other people view your page by clicking on the drop down menu "Preview as seen by" at the top right of your 360 "My Page.
