  My blog’s articles are restricted when viewed by others, how can I just let people see an article? I have tried options/privacy and some others, but I’m finding the WordPress jargon confusing.

  Sorry Protected.

  Protected: Rationale: Functional Design

  ensure both the blog and the post itself are public

  Blog :
  Dashboard > Options > privacy

  Post:
  Ensure the post status is published, not set to private and is not password restricted. You’ll see these options on the right hand side where you write your posts.

  Thanks, the blog itself is set for:

  I would like my blog to appear in search engines like Google and Sphere, and in public listings around WordPress.com.

  And I went into post edit
  post status is: published, but I don’t see where there is a switch for restricted on/off.

  I do see post password and there is one, but it won’t go away!

  In the spot where you can enter a password for that post (in the write screen) – is there a password entered there? you would want to remove it if so, and then save.

  Thanks again I’ll try….OOOPS!

  How embarrassing, I have an IE7 auto fill utility that added the password when I was opening those choices! After you’re advice I did clear it, but forgot to re-save. Now everytime I oped the box it fills in the password. Simple fix, just close the toolbars.

  Can’t seem to have the slug(tagline) posted, but that’s for another time!
