  How I can hide an existing post from search machines?
  Thank you.

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

  Set the Post to

  Private – then only you can see it when logged in

  Password Protect – then the title is visible but a password is needed to see it

  Set back to Draft – then the content is still there but you can’t see it at all on your blog

  All can be done from the edit Post screen – in the same box as the publish / update button is located

  Thank you very much. The third variant worked.

  You be welcome

  Remember that it will take a few months for the Post to go away from search engine cache’s – but eventually the content should be real hard to find (some search engines don’t seem to forget) – but your visitors will not see the Post when they visit

  Now, an URL of the hidden post gives “Page not found.” It’s all I need.
