How to Put Blogger Site Offline?

Both Blogger and WordPress have an option to put the site offline or make it unavailable permanently or temporarily. You may need to put your site offline for a number of reasons. In this post, I will just talk about how to limit access to a blogger site. At the same time, you can deny the search engines to access your site and you can also restrict general people to view your contents.

As mentioned earlier, there could be several reasons behind putting the site offline. Such as -

You can restrict search engines to crawl your site. Because you would like to decorate your site first. In that case you can limit search engines' access.

You may need to make your site unavailable temporarily due to political violations or religious issues.

Or may be the site could be a private one. Maybe it's subject to be unavailable to the public.

Whatever the reason, or even if you don't need to put your site offline, at least you should know the way. Some bloggers even think, why I put my site offline? When I'm trying to cirulate the site as much as possible? I've already mentioned the reasons! :)

Restrict Search Engines Crawl your Site

You can limit search engines' access to index your site if necessary. Follow the steps below -

Go to Blogger Control Panel/ Settings/ Dashboard.
Choose Settings from the left pane.
Select Basic > Basic > Privacy.
Choose No for both options as below.
Hit on the Save Changes button.

The first No doesn't matter much. But the second No matters! If you choose No in the second option, your site will not be crawled by search engines. But everyone will be able to access your site.

Restrict Public Access to your Contents

If your site is private and you don't want people view your contents, then you can absolutely restrict public access. Follow the steps below -

Go to Blogger Control Panel > Settings.
Choose Basic under the Settings option.
Find the Blog Readers option under Permissions section.
Here you have three choices: Public, Private (Blog Authors), Private (Selected Persons).
If you choose the second option, only blog authors will be able to access the site. Other people will just get a message - This is a private blog.
If you would like to add some readers, then choose the third option. Then add readers from your contact list or you can type their emails. Whenever they try to access your site, they have to log in.
Finally, hit on the Save Changes button.

Tips!

If your site is totally new, then you can use the Privacy option only. You can stop search engine crawl your site. Because search engines will not find enough contents in a new site. That's why it's better to write first. Then you may let search engines to index your site. But you can keep your site Public.

Later I will discuss the same thing for WordPress site.
