That's what I meant about a private post earlier, sorry about that.

That's what it's for anyway - to send some examples of my work to potential employers privately without attaching big files by email. So on a password-protected post I can just send the employer the link and password... but that doesn't work if Google picks up the presentations.

Thanks.

I notice that Google seems to pick up presentation / ppt / powerpoint files. I want to upload some to WordPress BUT I want them to be private and not searchable on Google (I'd put them on a password protected post, and they'd be attachments from that). But I understand the POST won't be searchable on Google, but will Google but able to track the actual presentation / ppt file.

Example of Google finding PPT files:
http://www.google.com.au/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=presentation#sclient=psy&hl=en&safe=off&source=hp&q=presentation+ppt&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&pbx=1&fp=dc0057adb156f860

Thanks, and sorry for the confusing question.
