hosted in your own webspace, or on a free blog site?
can you password protect it?

Huh. I thought for sure there would be a setting for this, doesn't look like there is.
Play around with an .htaccess rule. Create a "disabled" web page and
ReWriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^blog.* /blog-disabled.html [L]
If you still need to get to admin,
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !wp\-admin
RewriteRule ^blog.* /blog-disabled.html [L]
You may want to consider search engine requests with a temporary redirect header
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !wp\-admin
RewriteRule ^blog.* /blog-disabled.html [R=307,L]
| The requested resource resides temporarily under a different URI. Since the redirection MAY be altered on occasion, the client SHOULD continue to use the Request-URI for future requests. |
|
The above are not working, copy and paste mod_rewrite rules and they are typed on the fly. The are intended as ideas for using mod_rewrite for a simple way to disable your blog.

There is a plugin (name escapes me but it should be easy to find) that will allow you to post a temp top page (all requests from non-admin users will be directed to this page).
Or did you mean remove instead of disable?

Thanks everyone:
I do mean disable (as opposed to remove).
It appears there might be a few different ways to do this. so I will look through them.
Thanks again, everyone.

If you host it.... move all files to a folder.... put a new index.php file up with "Under construction or whatever on it...
or just a redirect on top of the first php file the site loads.
I haven't used wordpress in a while.. these are random thoughts.

The only problem with that is all the sub-pages in the blog/WP site will 404, see 307 above.
