  I have read everything I can find about posting my blog but nothing is helping me figure out why when people click on the link created when I click ‘publish’, it takes them to a login page instead of my blog. Can you please help?

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

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

  I assume you are giving “people” the link https://lesleyneeley.wordpress.com/
  That just shows the front page of your site which is currently set to private. If you want anyone to see your posts then head over to Settings and untick private and save the changes.

  Hi @lesleyneeley,

  To add to what @themagicrobot noted, please ensure that you are sharing public links to your content. For example, you can share the following URL for your latest blog post: https://lesleyneeley.wordpress.com/2022/01/31/working-the-plan/

  If you share a link to your editor in the dashboard, readers will be promoted to login, however will not have access. Here’s an example of an internal link: https://wordpress.com/post/lesleyneeley.wordpress.com/39

  I hope that helps and please reach out again if you have any further questions.
