The Bloggers With The Most To Say
Can you block someone from viewing your blog?
Hello bloggers :)
I met someone online recently and I gave them the link to my blog.. they have since proven to me they have "issues" and have been quite creepy and even scary at times via email etc and anyway. I have blocked them from contacting me again but I would like to block them from my blog.
I am on blogger & They are not a follower via the follwing tool there, I think they have subscribed (and since mid week from my webstats I can tell they have continually visited to quite an excess).
As I said this person scares me with their anger issues and I would rather just block them from viewing my blog.. I have an IP address.. Is it possible?
Many thanks for all your replies in advance
Much Love

There really isn't an answer to this. With the sheer number of anonymous proxies and proxy networks (Tor, I2P) and workarounds (Coral Cache) available, there really isn't a surefire way for anyone to prevent anyone else from reading their content online.
Things like IP-based blocking and passwords are only deterrents and/or minor inconveniences. If someone really wants to get at your blog, they will eventually be able to do so. Similarly, if you post under a pseudonym, don't think that your online persona is permanently detached from your real-life identity, because people can (and probably will) eventually put two and two together. (I remember a seeing a post or two around here about the subject recently, as well.)
In short, here's a golden rule: If it's something you wouldn't shout from the rooftops, it doesn't belong online.

My suggestion for this is to back up your material and move. :(
I know its a bit harsh, but if this person is giving you a hard enough time, Wordpress makes it easy to download previous blogs. You'll have to probably give your blog a different name so he can't track you, but I've been forced to start over before too due to my anonymity being comprimised.
Good luck!
