working with a theme that shows homepage blog post on the homepage towards the bottom just above the signup for newsletter section. http://inkthemes.com/wptheme/blackbird-interior/

The homepage section shows everything from the blog, I need to be sure passworded posts do not show at all. The theme options panel only has off or on for that section. Solution options are to show only a certain category like Featured-News, or to add something to exclude the passworded posts. Right now a password posts appears with the text asking for the password.

Thanks for any suggestions guidance and/or code suggestions.
