Wordpress problem.

[hamiltonsteele]

I need to create a 2nd blog on the same domain which is easy enough.

The problem is that I need to temporarily hide the 1st blog.

Anyone have any suggestions on how I can accomplish this?

Rename the index.php file to something like index_hold.php at that point the blog no longer answers up. Then put a new index.php or index.htm page in it's place so you don't get the .404

If you have plugins that have modified your .htaccess then you might need ot rename that too to move it out of the way.

A small off topic. But how are you doing? I have not seen you for a long time.

I reread the question. This is easiest.

I remember being told the guy was dead!

You can change the location of the visible blog in your basic settings. Most people leave that on the default when installing WordPress, but it's an easy change. Good luck 😀
