Hi there,
If you only want your friends and family to be able to see your blog, you’ll want to change your Privacy settings so that it is only viewable to certain users. Click here for a link for directions on how to change your privacy settings.
After that, you’ll need to invite viewers to see your website; here is a link for directions on how to add viewers to your website. If you follow those steps, you will be able to send invitations to your friends and family to view your blog through e-mail.
I hope that helps. =)

Thx Sarah.
Since you are so helpful, I will take liberties by asking two more questions:
1/ how do I delete a blog? While fumbling to post, I accidentally created three blogs. When I edit the useless ones, I do see the trash can symbol in top left corner of screen, but it is de activated. (Dim graphics and no action when clicked)
2/ my privacy settings “allow search engines to index this site”, but when I share the URL with my friends via whatsapp, they are asked for a login and password. How can they see my blog, without me having to invite them one by one.
Will appreciate your patient support.

Hi again, Abdus.
1. It sounds like you’re trying to delete drafts of blog posts you accidentally created. Is that correct? =) You have found the trash icons; I don’t know why those buttons are not working. They are supposed to be a grey color to start (and they’re supposed to turn red when you click on them as your unneeded blog posts delete).
Since that’s not happening, you could try deleting your unwanted posts the back way: click this link here, which will take you to another version of your dashboard. When you run your mouse over the unnecessary blog posts, you can click the “trash” button, which will move them to your trash section, which will be automatically deleted in thirty days (though you can delete them permanently yourself by clicking the link above). You could also select the boxes to the right of the blogs you do not want, then select the “Bulk Actions” button, and finally “Move to Trash”.
Did that do the trick?
2. Did you just change your privacy settings from “Private” to “Allow search engines to index this site”? If so, and if you invited your friends to view your page before you changed the settings, have them refresh their page–they might be seeing an older version that was saved on their phones.
I just installed that WhatsApp onto my phone, and when I click your link (mindonabuzz.wordpress.com.) your blog shows up just fine for me. =)
