  When I send a link to friends to read my blog, they get a sign in page requesting a name and password? WHAT THE HELL IS THAT????

  How are people supposed to click on my links and read my blogs if they have to know my name and password? Is there something in the settings for my site that I am missing.

  HELP!

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

  Could you provide me an example of the link you are sending to your friends?

  Thanks,

  The link you posted is actually featured text displayed on WordPress.com under the “Reader” section. These posts are actually from the things you follow on WordPress, or suggested blogs you might like. In order to read those, you need to log in with a WordPress account.

  Your original blog post is actually here:
  https://http4281.wordpress.com/2017/06/17/fathers-day-2017/

  If you provide your friends with the link from your blog (http4281.wordpress.com) they will be able to read it without logging in.

  I hope I didn’t lose you in the explanation. If you have more questions, feel free to reply to me :)

  I don’t understand. When I bring up the page, the URL I get is nothing like what you posted. Where and how did you find that one?

  What am I doing wrong?

  One last question. When I log in to the site, it always wants to give me my personal page, which as I said, needs a password to log into when I send it to others.

  How do I get to the main page so I can open the blog and send that?

  Thanks for your help

  You need to send your friends the correct address of your site which is: https://http4281.wordpress.com/
