 * What can I do to “disable” my blog from appearing at its URL? I have it hosted
   right now with GoDaddy, and don’t want to remove any files from the hosting account,
   but rather just make it “not appear” at its homepage. I guess you could say I’m
   looking for an on/off switch of sorts. Thanks!

 * jlearmonth,
 * If you are looking for something to temporarily disable the blog try Wartungsmodus:
   [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wartungsmodus](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wartungsmodus).
   It’s German for Maintenance Mode in case you were curious, but it is very flexible
   in that you can set up the temporary page to be anything you would like.

 * Hi,
 * You can add this code in htaccess file from your blog so no one can be able to
   access it:
 * deny from all
    allow from yourIPaddress
 * so you can only be able to access from that IP address.
 * Thanks,
 * Shane G.
