  Is the domain, that is included in the WordPress Value Bundle, public or private? Based on your online Support Info, I cannot figure this out on my own!
  Blog url: http://thejoyofthewrittenword.wordpress.com/

  The domain is public and will link to your WordPress.com blog.

  If you want to temporarily hide your blog instead, please use privacy option so only you and logged-in members of the blog can view it.

  Thank you, kardotim.

  I am not clear on the difference between indexing and not indexing a site.

  My instinct is to avoid webcrawlers. But the Support comments say most bloggers choose privacy option #1 which means allowing search engines to index – means saying ok to webcralwers.

  How is your blog set up??

  If you want to be found on search engines like Google and Bing, your blog will need to be fully public.

  As for our blogs, we’re mostly fully public, unless we have a blog that we don’t want anyone to find.
