  How can I make a private blog into a public blog? I can’t seem to find that option and I need to be able to convert it for a class project.

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

  To change Private blog visibility to Public go to Dashboard > Settings > Reading scroll to Blog Visibility and choose option 1.

  Note that it’s not going to show in search engines right away. It takes LONGER for blogs that were private and get set to public to show up than it takes for brand new blogs. It could be a number of weeks or months.
