  I am starting a site. I started out making it a private site only visible to selected viewers. I will be wanting to make it public once I’ve started writing. I can’t seem to find a way to do that. Can you help.

  Thank you

  You can find these settings under ‘Setting’ -> ‘Privacy‘ in your Dashboard. Please review this guide on how to manage your Privacy Settings.

  kardotim —

  Thank you. I don’t seem to have the choices in the guide. The choices that I am given are:

  Allow search engines to index this site
  Ask search engines notto index this site
  I would like my site to be private, visible only to users I choose.

  Are the first two options the same as

  I would like my blog to be visible to everyone, including search engines (like Google, Sphere, Technocrat) and archivers
  I would like to block search engines, but allow normal visitors

  I’m sorry, the guide is up to date now. You are correct, the first two options/sentences do the same as written before.
