Nobody can read the blog.
I can access the administration in order to do the modifications.
How can I do that?
Assuming that the blog is running on an Apache web server and your web hoster allows you to do so, by adding a password protection by generating a .htapasswd file. (This is completely independent of s9y, by the way.)
You are right. It's a solution, not a perfect one because I should have preferred that visitors see a page saying that the blog is temporarily closed rather than a password form. But I'll use this solution if it's the only one.

In the forum thread I referenced above, there is an option I use with a temporary .htaccess file, and a corresponding 503.php file. I think this is the best possible solution at the moment. It is also search engine friendly by sending 503 Service Temporarily Unavailable headers.
