  How can I hide my blog? I want to remove it from being accessed without deleting. Old images from being indexed, etc. Can I do that easily and if so how?

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

  Hey there,

  You can change the privacy settings for your blog to private (it already is for baronessbogie.wordpress.com, if this is the one you talking about).

  It takes time (probably weeks) to drop results from the search engines and de-index your site.

  Hope this helps!

  Thanks!
