  Nobody can see my blog. There is no way for anyone to search and access it. Neither can I find any way to how to share it with friends via email. They don’t use social media.

  https://wordpress.com/view/traveltales1980s.wordpress.com

  Thanks for looking at this for me. The aim of my blog is to share my story with people I know, at the moment, but there’s no need for it to be private.

  There are 2 issues:
  1. People I send this link to cannot access the blog. Until recently I could share each post via an email address. Now I can only share on social media via Publicize but this wont work for my audience.

  2. Something has changed recently. The only Blog Post showing was the most recent one.I have had to combine ALL the different posts into 1. This isnt going to work when I want to add a new one.

  The correct link to share your site is https://traveltales1980s.wordpress.com/.

  You set your blogpost “South and Central America 1988-1989” as Featured, that’s why it’s always on top of all other blogposts.

  Thanks for your suggestions.

  Yes I have tried that link as well. I even sat next to my friend who was yet to sign up, on her laptop to see for myself what the problem was. Even once she had signed up there was still no access. The only option thing she was given was to ‘create’.

  Friends already signed up could only access my last post. That is why I copied all the previous ones onto the one that you can see.

  As I said, I had to copy all the other posts onto the only one showing. I will post a new one and see what happens to the existing post…….

  OK now both posts are showing. Who knows what was going on !

  I still have the problem of sharing the blog with others. The only option now seems to be about sharing with social media via publicise….

  People don’t have to sign up for wordpress.com to see your site through https://traveltales1980s.wordpress.com/. I can see your site on every browser, so it’s up and running public.
