    Would it be enough to block outsiders not welcome to see our blog from the outside to put

    .htaccess

    with

    Order deny,allow
    Deny from all
    Allow from 127.0.0.1
    Allow from 192.168.1.
    Allow from (external.ip's here)

    Or is there a more secure way?

    Im thinking I might lock it fully down, putting the IP's in our firewall, so Im sure noone will even be able to see its there unless invited.

    We're running it on a local network, but a few employees need access from private IPs.

    Is it on a host that resolves externally? If its on host/domain that is only resolvable within your organisation then its not going to be visible. If the employees need access do they use anything like a VPN to connect into your network? If they do then as long as the VPN is configured properly they'll still be able to see it.
