  Hello, I want to create another blog with different contents, but I would also hide from the public the current blog. Not delete it, but get it ‘frozen’ for some time. Is this possible?
  Thank you!

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

  Hello! You can temporarily set your site to private until you’re ready to make it available to the public.

  Go to your Dashboard and under Settings > Reading, set your site to I would like my site to be private, visible only to myself and users I choose.

  For more information, see: http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/

  Thank you, daschultemn, but this means that I can’t do this for each blog, just for the whole site?

  No. You should be able to set the visibility on the per site basis.

  Please go to where you were sent to and read because by selecting option 3 there you will be making the entire blog private.

  To change blog visibility to Private go to > Settings > Reading scroll to Blog Visibility and choose option 3. See the guide here http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings
