  I wonder if it’s possible someone access my closed blog without creating an WordPress account. Is there any way I can create a login for people only to read the posts of the blog?

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

  No that’s not possible for bloggers to create any log-ins on a free hosted WordPress.COM blog period. To do that you need to hire a web host and set up your own WordPress.ORG install.

  What’s possible is found here:
