Are blog entries that have been deleted visible to other members?Like,the ones that I have deleted,what shows up?Does it say "This blog entry has been deleted by LIT",or am I the only one that sees that?

I am asking because I noticed someones name was added to the "recent visitors" list,so I am wondering what there is to visit if I have deleted everything.I thought maybe the list included anyone that visited the blog section,but no,when I look at other blogs the names are not there,so it must be a list of who visits individual blogs.

So,what shows on mine if I have deleted everything?

Only administrators and moderators can see the "deleted" notices (and the owner of the post of course).

Anyone else wouldn't see anything.

So,is my name listed in the blog section but nothing is listed under entries?I am just trying to understand how there's a new visitor listed if there's nothing to visit.

*When I look at the list under "member blogs" I don't see myself listed.*

It's probably a search engine spider following an old link that no longer exists.
