  Hi,
  I am in the midst of starting a major workover on my blog and I would therefore like to turn off the “follow blog” functionality so that my 50 followers do not get their e-mail filled up with changed articles.

  Is there a way I can disable the follow blog functionality temporarily during the work phase?

  JC

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

  Hello there,
  You can disable the follow blog function > Dashboard > Settings > Readin > Email.

  You can temporarily set the blog visibility to “private” and then change it back to “public” when your blog renovation is complete. http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/
