Hidding blog when moving to new domain name.

Go to Google’s help pages and ask kindly that they remove your old site. It’s your site, your property but they own it, and they could say no. But do it anyway ??

And to keep a blog private ?
Protect the whole thing with a .htaccess password setup, but remember that your privacy is dependent on others not giving away the passwords you give them.

Here is a guide for setting up .htaccess password protection: https://www.javascriptkit.com/howto/htaccess3.shtml

I’m sorry, i guess what i wrote was not what i was wondering about.

I want to keep my old domain name and still use for pictures and other crap but the blog I want to move it to the new domain name that i bought.

I will not give out this domain name out to people close to me, friends, family and co-workers, that way i write more openly.

When i did a test run of moving the blog to another everything worked, but when looking at the sql code some sections still have the old link.

I just want to make sure if they google the old name(if they are smart enough) that no small link directs them to the new blog.

What i meant by private was from people close to me but not the world.

Your best bet is to use phpmyadmin to search through your database for instances of your old URL and manually edit each found entry to use the new URL. After that, to keep your blog visible to only those special to you, use .htaccess password protection (as linked to above).

Well, i move it over. everythign seems good so far. I guess i’m just being paranoid.
