Easy access to everyone
-
make the blogs on word press available to people who don’t have an account. that way the ideas, and community that is created here can be shared my many others. like sharing on YouTube or Vimeo. Make the content accessible to everyone. Only bloggers/ people who have an account can follow or comment but to open the range of viewers to make the website less exclusive would be a huge step up. Also creates more awareness of the website. People want to share their thoughts and words with their friends, even that ones that don’t have an account.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

All it takes to register an account is an email address. That’s hardly a big deal and it can even be a throwaway email address.
That’s not true.

No one has to log-in to visit your public blog. No one has to log in to submit a comment. It’s up to you to set your Discussion Settings up exactly as your prefer. This page > Settings > Discussion is where you set up defaults for comments.

P.S. Do be sure to set up full comment moderation ie. “An administrator must always approve the comment” because anonymous commenting is bound to increase the amount of spam your blog will receive.
