  I would like to make modifications to my site. Is there a way that I can put my site on hold or unpublish until it’s ready?

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

  On the dashboard Settings->Reading page you can set the blog to Private. Be aware, however, that when you turn it Public it will take longer to be indexed by search engines than if you had never set it to Private in the first place. It can be several weeks, because search engines will assume your blog is private and staying private and they will not check back often to make sure it’s still private.
