  I want to make my blog public but when I go to settings<Privacy there is on my a “privacy page” option. How can I get the settings to make my blog public and launch my site already?

  Hi there,

  Note you can also launch a site by making it public here:
  https://wordpress.com/settings

  You will need to click on Public and save settings, to make your site live.
  

  Let us know if you have more questions.

  I clicked the link and again, no option for private or public. I tried downloading the app, tried looking on my phone and computer, but there is only an option for “public page”

  I’ve checked your site so that means it’s not private.

  However, your site does not use our managed hosting environment from WordPress.com. Instead, you are hosted by bluehost and set up on the open source WordPress.org software.
  I’d suggest asking your question at 
  https://wordpress.org/support/forums/ for a more complete answer.
