  Thank you for your response. The reason “Viewer” was not shown in the dropdown is because the blog site was not set to private … doh!!

  Thanks again.

  Aha! The blog is now public. Note that the 404 (page not found) error message on the front page of your blog was caused by deleteing the placeholder Hello World post. It will disappear as soon as you publish a post, not a page.
