If i wanted to upload and test the artisteer wordpress theme Live on my wordpress website, how can I make a blank page with a message saying "site undergoing maintanence" when people access my wordpress site?

And what happens if a person is making a comment on my wordpress site, then before they can click on "submit" to make their comment, i take my site offline and display the undergoing maintanence message, will their comment not be saved and an error come up? if so, how can I avoid this?

Try checking the WORDPRESS site for plugins that take your site "offline".

There is a plugin called Maintenance Mode which should be sufficient for your needs.
