  Is my site already published? (Land for Sale North-West Tasmania?) I wanted to just save it as a draft until it is ready to go live. Can you help? Many thanks.

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

  You can set your site/blog to private so search engines and people (except people you invite) will see it:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/

  That way, you can publish your posts and pages and view them as they will be seen for real. If you just make your one post back into a draft, you will only be able to see your site one post or page at a time, as drafts which won’t look the same as they will once they are published.
