   Hello,

   I was wondering how to completely hide my testing area from search engines, getting indexed/seen/ etc...

   Lets say I have an active installation already working at www.example.com. Now I wish to do a new install under www.example.com/testing.

   I want the second example "invisible". The first thing I am doing is removing the pingomatic link and making sure there is nothing in that box although I am sure there is more i can do to work freely.

   Thanks

   you can do that by making changes from the wordpress admin panel

   go to admin panel -> settings -> privacy and select second option

   Hi,

   provided steps by himanshup is only block search engines to search but if any one who does know your blog can visit it..to stop all them you can block access from htaccess file of your domain/blog..

   <LIMIT GET>
   order deny,allow
   deny from all
   allow from xx.xx.xx.xx [IP address]
   </LIMIT>

   This will allow to access your blog from the provided IP address only

   Thanks,

   Shane G.
