  I haven’t used my blog account for some time and would like to make it dormant rather than delete it completely. How do I do this?

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

  Take a look at this support page: https://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/

  You can change your privacy settings to Hidden or Private.

  • Hidden. If you want all human visitors to be able to read your blog, but want to block web crawlers for search engines, this is the setting for you. (Please note, however, that not all search engines respect this setting.)
  • Private. Select this option to make your site private. If you want specific people to be able to view it (and add comments, if you’ve enabled them), you’ll need to invite them to be a viewer.

  Let me know if this is what you were looking for, wordsmithsuk! :)
