How To Hide Blogs From Blogger’s Profile

When you create a few blogs under one Blogger account, all the blogs you created will be shown in your profile when the readers click “View My Complete Profile” link under “About Me”. However, if the blog has just been created or not ready to be published yet and you don’t want other people to view them first, you can “hide” it to prevent people from viewing it.

There are 2 possible ways that I know of to “hide” the blogs from your Blogger profile:

Alternative 1:
1) Log in to Blogger. In the Dashboard, click “Settings” and it will bring you to “Settings” tab. Then click “Permissions”.

2) In “Blog Readers” Section, tick “Only Blog Authors”. Then a message pops up. Click “Allow Authors Only” to confirm it.

With this alternative, your blog’s name will still appear in your Blogger profile, but the readers would not be able to access / open it.

Alternative 2:
1) Log in to Blogger. In the Dashboard, click “Edit Profile” link at the right side of the Dashboard. This will bring you to “Edit User Profile” page.

2) Under “Privacy” section, click “Select blogs to display”. Then uncheck the blog’s name you’d like to hide. Click “Save Settings” to save it.

With this alternative, your blog’s name will not be shown in your Blogger profile. It’s “hidden” from your readers when they view your profile. However, this blog is actually still accessible by other people if they happen to find your blog in the search engine such as Technocrati, although the chances are very slim if the blog is very new. Hence, you can also combine this with Alternative 1 to prevent people from accessing this blog at all, if needed.
