Can you please let us know in which section you want to make comments "private" ?

Regards

I don't meant private comments - sorry if my question was confusing.

I meant..right now anyone can comment on the blog posts. But I want people to register first and then they should be able to post comment. I don't want comments posted by anonymous / guest users.

If you have control which inherits BlogComments control, you can override OnPreRender event.

In that event you can put additional check if current user is authenticated.

Try with this line of code:

pnlForm.Visible = (BlogPost != null && this.Page.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated) ? BlogPost.IsCommentEnabled : false;
It will still have comment list, but comment input form won't be visibile, if you are not logged in, i.e. registered.
