Private > Username
If you want ALL journals in this category to be private, enter username. Note that if your journal is in multiple categories and one of those categories are
password protected, the journal will be protected regardless of other categories. Also, when viewing a journal on a list screen, entering any user/pass
combination from any password protected category will work.

Private > Journals In This Category ONLY Show In This Category
If this is set to yes, journals in this category will NOT show on other list screens, such as archives, dashboard, rss and search results and will also
not show in recent journals. Ideal if you want journals to be visible only in a private category. If a journal is in multiple categories and this option
is set for at least one category, this will act as the global default.
Example:
Cat One (Set)
Cat Two (Not Set)
Cat Three (Not Set)
Because of Cat One, journal would only display if viewing Cat One, Cat Two or Cat Three.

Options > Auto Delete
A category can be set to auto delete. If this is enabled ALL journals in this category are deleted. Useful if you want to set up a special category with
password protected journals for a limited time. Example, for site offers. Note that if journals are in multiple categories, they will NOT delete if they
are still present in other categories.
Enter auto delete date if required. Enter only via the calendar provided, this appears when you click in the box.
Leave blank for no auto deletion. Note that for auto deletion, you will need to set up a cron job. More information here.
