  See option 3 here to change your blog visibility setting to private > http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/
  Dashboard > Settings> Reading

  IMPORTANT NOTE: Making a blog private, deleting blogs and/or deleting blog content does not remove any indexed items from the SERPs (search engine page results). Google and Bing only clear their caches of deleted indexed content that produces a 404 (page not found) every 3 – 6 months.
