How can i take my website off the Internet (unpublish it) so I can work on it.
-
How can I un-publish my website so I can finish it before putting it up on the Internet. I must have inadvertently pushed the wrong button somewhere and published my website. It acts differently now, I can’t see my website from WordPress, all I see is some sort of template. Can you help me? Some of my web pages have gobbledygook on it. Thanks, Linda Tedesco
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

You can make the visibility private. To change blog visibility to private go to > Settings > Reading scroll to Blog Visibility and choose option 3 . See the guide here http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/
I never do that I leave the visibility public and do not share the URL with anyone at all until I and ready to do so. That is because it takes weeks for search engines to index content in a new blog and/or to re-index content under a new URL.
What attracts search engines is unique content in posts (not pages) that cannot be found anywhere else on the internet. Start now publishing original content posts frequently two or even three times weekly. For more information read > http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2010/01/21/omg-i-cant-find-my-blog-on-google/
To verify blog ownership of a WordPress.com blog with the major search engines you must use this process > http://en.support.wordpress.com/webmaster-tools/
Note: Even if you do not verify the blog the content will be indexed by search engines so don’t feel panicky about this please.Note also that WordPress.com automatically supplies sitemaps for our blogs to search engines – we do nothing. http://en.support.wordpress.com/sitemaps/#xml-sitemaps-for-search-engines
Lastly note that we cannot assist with search engine issues. They are between the blogger and the search engine. http://en.support.wordpress.com/search-engines/
We have no control over when Google crawls and updates the SERPs. Note that you Ask Google to re-crawl your URLs https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/6065812?hl=en

re: the front page error message here http://boomrbratz.wordpress.com/
By default the front page of the blog is the only page that will display all published posts on it. As soon as you publish a post not a page the error message will be gone. http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/
