    Hello,

    I recently created a blog, espiritfrais.com. Feel free to look at it! If you can…. I have had about a 50/50 response as to whether it works for people or not. Why is this? How can I make it viewable to everyone?

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Howdy,

    Welcome to WordPress.com and congrats on the new site. I see that the domain, espiritfrais.com, is new within the last day.

    New domains, or changes to domains (like nameserver or DNS changes) can take a short amount of time to become effective Internet-wide—typically within 12 hours.

    The way the Internet is built, domain records are cached/stored on various servers globally to reduce the traffic required to process visiting the site as well as prevent instant outages if the primary server holding your domain’s records has a hiccup.

    The downside to this is that a new domain or update can take a little bit of time until the new record is reflective everywhere.

    While, typically, everything works within 2-12 hours, according to the spec, servers are allowed to keep the old, cached information for up to 72 hours.

    In short, everything is working fine and, likely by now, everyone could visit your site without problem.

    Please let me know if you have any questions or need anything else. Welcome again to WordPress.com!
