  Recently, one of my relatives clicked on a link to my blog. They were unable to see my blog or my website. Do people have to start their own website, which they don’t want, just to read my blog?

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

  I have been to your blog no problems, maybe you did not give them the whole url

  Well, no. You have a WordPress account but they don’t. Is this so, that if they don’t have a WordPress blog, they can’t read mine?

  I get lots of people on my blog reading and leaving messages and they do not have blogs.

  I used my friend’s computer and tried to see my gallery and I couldn’t. I got to a page that asked if I wanted to sign up for a WordPress account and there was no place to say no and there was no way to bypass that page. Does anyone know why?

  I have marked it for a mod to have a look, but it’s the holidays, you might be lucky to get one soon.

  Thanks @dribblingpensioner

  @turtlemoonimpressions I think I see the issue on
  https://turtlemoonimpressions.wordpress.com/gallery-2/textile-collagesart-quilts/

  It looks like instead of adding galleries, you’ve linked to your editing pages — which only you can see.

  Can you click on https://turtlemoonimpressions.wordpress.com/gallery-2/textile-collagesart-quilts/ and click edit?

  Then type the name of your first link, click the link button, and choose to insert an existing page. That way you’ll be sure to get the right link.

  As another suggestion, you might be happy with a theme like this one instead, since it would allow you to display your galleries as a grid with images:
  https://selademo.wordpress.com/page-templates/grid-page/

  It would be a bit of work to get set up, but I think the effect could be nice. Let us know your thoughts.
