    Hey guys, I'm not great with wordpress - but I'm buiding a site that will take me a few weeks. Is it possible to work on the site so that only I can see it - all visitor would get an under maintenance message

    Hello.

    The simplest solution I can think of is to alter the index.php page so that it displays your maintainance message. This will not block visitors coming through other pages, though. To achieve this you will have to alter other pages, such as the single.php page. Perhaps the best solution could be to load an empty blog with the message, and rename directories.

    Good luck.
