  Hi – I am wanting to start using my blog again. I was wondering if there was a way to fully archive all of my old posts? I want to start anew but would hate to actually have to delete all of them. Is there a way to just archive them and have them not show up on the home screen since they were written so long ago? I would hate to have to change platforms just to ‘start over’

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

  Hi there,

  If you want to remove your old posts from your home page and prevent them from being visible to anyone outside of yourself, I would setting those posts to private. That way, visitors and search engines are no longer able to view the posts, but they are still available to you for viewing if you wanted to use them again.

  For more information on setting your posts to private, please visit our support page:

  Thanks!
