  i want to take my site offline so no one can view it while I’m building it. This website makes it really hard to figure out how to do that, or if it’s even possible. Anyone know how to do this?

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

  You can make the blog visibility private temporarily. > Settings > Reading

  3. I would like my blog to be visible only to users I choose – Select this option to create a private blog. If you want others to be able to view your private blog (and add comments, if you’ve enabled them) you’ll need to invite them to be a viewer. http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/

  I don’t have a “Reading” option under my Settings. The screen shot on the page you linked to does not look like my account.

  That would be because you are not logged in under the correct username account.

  How many username accounts do you have and which one are you logged in under?

  You must be logged in under exact same username account that registered the blog and who is the Admin of the blog to access it.

  Clicking this link should display all your blogs registered under the same username, including the hidden ones: https://dashboard.wordpress.com/wp-admin/index.php?page=my-blogs&show=hidden

  If you do not see the blog here http://en.support.wordpress.com/my-blogs/ then
  follow this guide > http://en.support.wordpress.com/my-blogs/#my-blogs-dashboard-visibility
