People won't read my blog
-
People won’t read my blog because they have to sign into WordPress first. Is there any way round this??
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

I can view your site, aquitaine2015.wordpress.com, without being signed in to WordPress.com. I can also search for individual post titles, and see your site in Google search results. I don’t get any prompt to sign in.
Try looking at your blog in a different browser without being signed in to WordPress.com, just to verify.
Your site will be more discoverable in search results for people who are not members of WordPress.com as you add more content, but there’s a lot of competition in that real estate market!

Thank you! At the moment I have been adding the link to my second page to the bottom of the first, if you see what I mean! You say you’ve been in to it so I guess you do.
If I give people the title of the blog they can’t get into the first page without signing up
Should I ask people just to log into aquitaine2015.wordpress.com? BUT people look at the title (say on Google) and type that in.
Sorry to be so long-winded!

I’ve just realised, rather late in the day, that it’s the HTTP that is important, not the Google title. As you suggested I used a different browser and found the site.
But did you manage to get into my site? If so how did you do it because I couldn’t!!

Use http://aquitaine2015.wordpress.com/ and know that anyone and everyone with internet access can access any public blog like yours.

Sorry – another question! For some reason I cannot download images to my Media Gallery. There hasn’t been a problem so far; could it be because my PC is very slow?
Is there a link I can go to for advice?
Thanks
