  Hello,
  It’s unclear to me how I can hide my site while I work on it. The plugins are confusing. I just want to post a pretty ‘under construction’ with some contact details and the ability to download my resume until I want to make my improved site visible again. Please help?
  Thanks.

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

  Go to dashboard, add a post, you will see publish / Visibility: change it to private.

  Thanks! My interest is not having it completely blocked, I’d like people to see some of what’s there, but with a message that they won’t see most of what I’m working on. I’d also like them to be able to see a link directing them elsewhere until my work is complete. Any recommendations?

  Put a post on with your message and make it a sticky you can put links in the post.

  What ever you are working on send it to drafts so they won’t be seen.
