  I want to completely revamp my blog but I don’t want it to be visible to the public in the meantime nor do I want my followers to get pinged with updates that I’m just testing out. Can I take my blog offline while I work on it and just have an ‘under construction’ screen visible to the public or something?

  Howdy,

  We don’t offer an “Under Construction” page, but you could always temporarily set your blog to private. You can do this at Settings -> Privacy in your dashboard.
