  If they have not subscribed to you (I assume you’re using the Follow By Email widget) and they are not following any of your social media accounts, then you cannot do anything to force them to read your blog.

  You just blog. Follow some of the thousand tips in the forum on SEO and your site will get indexed via search engines and then away you go.

  They don’t need to log in to anything. They just go to the link. Maybe put it in your email signature or on your business cards or something to remind people.

  hi raincoaster, again.

  i have tried to go to a blog of mine without logging into my account. i cannot figure out how do perform that. i hate being dumb about what seems to be a simple thing.

  if you would be more specific. go to the link?? meaning the title of the blog or the account name or the email address??

  The link – always the link: http://seekingthedivinemind.wordpress.com/

  The link is also what you send to people that you want to look at your blog

  You need to use that http and it’s simpler if you just copy it right from the browser bar at the top of the page. Like, the link to this thread is:
  https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/try-as-i-might-i-cannot-understand-how-non-members-can-view-my?replies=7

  and not
  en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/try-as-i-might-i-cannot-understand-how-non-members-can-view-my?replies=7

  Domains are fiddly things and you need to get them exactly right or they don’t work. And after this comment the URL will change so it ends with 8, and so on.
