  My brother found my blog address and sent a vile comment, I want him to be blocked from accessing my blog. So if he puts in the address, nothing will happen. I deleted his vile comment but am still upset and don’t want this to happen again.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hello,

  I’m so sorry to hear that.

  First thing you can do is go to Settings > Discussion > Comment Blacklist.

  Comment Blacklist lets you blacklist comments based on content, name, URL, email or IP. The comment will go straight in the trash.

  I don’t think you can block someone from viewing a public blog. Have a look at this old forum post for more info: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/can-i-block-someone-from-seeing-my-blog-or-would-i-have-to-create-a-new-blog/

  Hope that helps
