How to block someone from viewing my site?
-
Hi, my blog is private and not intended for my friends at school to see, but someone found my URL. How do I block them from viewing my site? Or is it possible to put a password on my site/some form of security so it’s harder for people to find my blog?
Thanks!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

This is all that can be seen when clicking the URL:
http://xkennedybelle.wordpress.com/ is marked private by its owner. You can:Request access to view the site. We’ll send your username to the site owner for their approval.
Log out and sign in as different user. You’re logged in as ‘timethief’.
Learn about privacy settings.← Back to WordPress.com
Now log out, clear your browser cache and cookies and without logging in again visit your URL. http://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/
The security leaks are the people you gave the URL to. Know that if you have a tiff with one of those “friends” or if they are not smart and share the link then all people see is what I posted and what I told you to test so you could prove that to yourself.

Note however that your site was open to the public and indexed by search engines, so someone that is dedicated enough can find a cached copy of your what might be called middle finger language to those that don’t like what you said – that will go away mostly in a few months

Aside from 2 support forum threads this is what I see in Google`s cache xkennedybelle.wordpress.com/ -
That’s the only page I looked at – the red letters – on the good side they did not seem to have much content and I only tried for the front page – small blog = gets lost quicker I think
