My blog is not found by search engines. Hence nobody can read it
Victoriablog457.wordpress.com
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

You have made the blog Private and need to change the visibility setting to Public.
To change blog visibility to Public go to > Settings > Reading scroll to Blog Visibility and choose option 1. See the guide here http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings

Note that it can take weeks for search engines to index content in a new blog and/or to re-index content under a new URL. https://en.support.wordpress.com/search-engines/
To verify blog ownership of a WordPress.com hosted blog with the major search engines you must use this process > http://en.support.wordpress.com/webmaster-tools/
Note: Even if you do not verify the blog the content will be indexed by search engines so don’t feel panicky about this please.WordPress.com automatically supplies sitemaps for our blogs to search engines – we do nothing. http://en.support.wordpress.com/sitemaps/#xml-sitemaps-for-search-engines

https://victoriablog457.wordpress.com/ – is open to anyone – however it is a one day old blog with one post – it takes search engines 4 to 7 weeks to fully index a new site and that is only if there is something worth indexing on it – you need to add more content

I changed the setting on both my sites so they are accessible to anyone. But even when I type http://www.victoriablog457.wordpress.com in the search bar it does not open up. How is it possible to access the blog?

It opens fine for me on Windows 10 using Firefox 42 so that indicates you have a browser related issue or a connectivity issue. You need to do a Browser Connectivity Check please.
