  Why when invited viewers try to view and follow my blog they get an error message and cannot view any posts?
  They get this message: “Apoligies, but no results were found for the requested archive. Perhaps searching will help find a related post.”
  What do I do?
  Blog url: http://pvillien.wordpress.com/

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

  I’d love to be “positive” but my viewers “positively cannot view my posts”!

  I’m not seeing that error myself.

  What is the URL that they’re being sent to? Everything seems to be fine at http://pvillien.wordpress.com/

  The http//: is villienpov.wordpress.com
  The following is what they (guest viewers) receive in their email:

  Pableau is now following Our Roads of Italy 2012

  Pableau just started following you at http://villienpov.wordpress.com. They will receive an email every time you publish a post. Congratulations.

  –When they attempt to view the blog, this is what they get:

  Not Found
  Apologies, but no results were found for the requested archive. Perhaps searching will help find a related post.

  When I go through my blog, even though I have several posts, and have inserted the commands: [archives], there is a note that says (for each post) : “Your blog does not currently have any published posts.”
  Each time I have entered a new post, I have published it, gone back and up dated it and published it again. I am able to see each of the posts when I log in but the guests are not able to do so.
  I cannot figure it out.

  Ah, all of the posts at http://villienpov.wordpress.com/ are marked as Private, which means they are only viewable by the Author.

  Since the blog is already Private, there really is no reason to make the posts private too, unless you don’t want anyone to see them.

  Macmanx,

  Thanks. That seemed to solve the problem. I did not realize that marking each post “private” prevented it from being “published”.
  I really appreciate your prompt response.
