   I asked this 2 days ago on Misc. but must have been in the wrong place, as I got no replies.

   I would like to block users from 2 IPs from accessing my blog or, at the very least, one particular page. Is this possible? I searched for a plug in but couldn't find one.

   Thanks in advance for any help or guidance.

   Thank you so much. The first one looks ideal. I must have used too many search terms or the wrong ones.

   You may try including an .htaccess file in the root directory of your blog containing the following:

   <Files .htaccess>
   order allow,deny
   deny from all
   </Files>

   <Limit GET POST>
   order allow,deny
   deny from xx.xxx.xx
   deny from xx.xxx.xxx
   allow from all
   </Limit>

   The first statement <Files .htaccess> denies viewing access to the file itself.
   The second grouping of statements <Limit GET POST> is where you limit access to specific IP addresses (represented by xx). By not including the last digits (octets) of the IP address, you exclude a wider range from that IP address family. The less octets, the greater range of exclusion.
   More information on the internet can be found on formatting an .htaccess file.
