Privacy - Blogs - Home Page

I decided to create 3 blog posts with the privacy setting set so that me and only me could view the blog. This results in the blogs section on the home page being overload a large blocky pictures that say "Private". It does not really tell me much apart form that fact that something is private. It also looks ugly. Couldn't we just not display anything at all. The same occurs when setting the privacy setting so that only members can view a certain blog post. When you are logged out you are just confronted with loads of pictures that say "Private". Maybe I it is only me but I do not think it is necessary to show that something, whatever it is and whoever it belongs to, is "Private". See below:

All this time and no one has addressed this?  Same problem.

It has been mentioned a few times but nothing has been done. I dont like it but what can you do? I just hacked it out of the code myself to prevent this. Other people cannot do this...

This is still an issue - I want people to be able to post private blogs.  It also shows that huge private thing for member only blogs.  Nothing private should show up on the home page.  Or members only blogs should have a pic that says login to view.

Please somebody help
