   Is it possible to lock a WP blog, for instance during upgrading work in progress that should not be visible to the users?

   Thank you. How do I install this plugin? Shall I just put it at the beginning of my index.php?
   Being more precise, I'm looking for a way to lock my blog for the public while I can still access it, for example while modifying the CSS configuration.

   well if you use the take down blog plugin, you will not be able to see your blog either.
   to install the plugin, drop the file into your plugin folder residing in the wp-content directory i believe.

   Isn't one way to find out in which order (from your host) a browser will present an index ?
   If the server will check for 'index.html' before 'index.php', then simply putting a 'index.html' into the wp directory will stop the blog being seen.
   This relies on them not having bookmarked the index.php though.
   You could experiment by creating a very simple index.html, uploading it then visiting your site directory.. You may need to clear your cache.
