  Hi there,

  For other people to be able to view your blog you need to make your blog public or if you want to make it viewable by only specific people you need to make it private and invite them to view it. Please check out this link which has instructions on how to use privacy settings.

  Re: Blog not showing up in google search
  It takes time for search engines to index your blog and show in search results. Sometimes 3-4 weeks. You can read more about the same in this support document..
