  My blog post from last night showed up in a search engine called IceRocket according to my stats on my Dashboard. I have “I would like to block search engines, but allow normal visitors” checked in my privacy tab.
  Can I do anything else to block some of these less mainstream search engines from picking up my posts? thanks

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

  If anyone links to your blog, search engines will pick it up. Your name is linked to your blog, so when you leave a comment, you leave a link. Unfortunately, you cannot really prevent other people from linking to you, blogrolling you, etc, any more than you can prevent them from pointing at you on the street.
