   I am trying to create a new site but don't want it to be visible to the public until its complete. Is there some way to make it invisible/inactive to the public but available for me to see it as I make edits?

   I'm a caveman so I hit it with a club, try adding something like this to the top of your index file..

   if ($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']) !='127.0.0.1'){
   exit();
   }

   putting your own IP in of course

   @sara: Stay with one thread, read the docs for Absolute Privacy, see that is also can block RSS, and also look in Dashboard/Settings/Privacy to block Google.
