  I don’t want to ‘activate’ my account and ‘publish’ a site until I have built it. But as I explore the themes, WordPress is asking me to activate my account by verifying my email. What should I do?

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

  Hi there,

  You can activate your account, and if don’t wish to publish your site until you have built it the way you want then you can change privacy settings of your site.

  Making your site private will be helpful in this case. Refer below link,
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/

  Only you will be able to view your site and users you approve if you change privacy setting to private. Once you built your site you can make it public again.

  Hope this helps.
