Hi, welcome to WW,

Insert a noindex meta tag under the title & description tags for each page that you want to block. Your code should look something like this:

<title>Your Page Title</title>
<META name="description" content="Your page's description">
<META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX,NOFOLLOW">

For future compatibility it is best to do your tags and attributes in lower, rather than UPPER, case.
