How do I create different Post statuses?

Morning all,

At the moment, all I see is Draft of Published when I go to Status on posts in my standard Perch install.

I've got nearly 10 years worth of blog posts on my site which I migrated over from Textpattern a few years ago. A lot of these posts are not relevant to what I do now but I'd hate to just delete them so I would like to keep them for posterity but not have them public on the site... nor do I want to set them as draft as they're not draft posts.

Is there a way I can create differing statuses such as 'Private' or 'Hidden'?

Thanks!

You can't create different statuses, but you could add e.g. a check box to hide them.

Thanks Drew. Is there any documentation floating around that would help me do that?

On adding a field to your template or on filtering posts?

On the whole method, but your response has broken it down for me so I think I'm good to go :)
