After I did this, the blog became public.

You can do that very simply by pasting http://urbanbredkid.com/ into the text field on the page below and then clicking "Debug":

Let us know if this works.

Would it be possible to upload a screenshot of where you see the message that the blog is private, to help in troubleshooting?

Here's a guide on how to make a screenshot, if you're not sure: http://en.support.wordpress.com/make-a-screenshot/

Just upload the screenshot in your Media Library and then post a link so I can see it. Thanks!

I now want to make the site public. I have checked the box in reader settings to "allow search engines to access this site". It still is giving people the message that my blog is private and they need to log in.
Thanks!
