  Hi there!

  While you’re working on your site, you can change the visibility of your blog to Private. In the Dashboard, go to Settings > Reading and next to Site Visibility, you can select “I would like my site to be private, visible only to users I choose” and then click “Save Changes” at the bottom. When you are ready to unveil your WordPress.com site to the world, simply change the Site Visibility setting back to “Allow search engines to index this site.”

  More information on privacy settings for your site can be found here:

  Best,
