How to have some public viewable pages?

Hi, how do or can I create pages that are viewable without login? Or is that a bad idea?

http://eslbuddies.toni-esl.com

A link to the applicable documentation topic would do.
I do want the BuddyPress to remain intact and not potentially effected structurally by external WP stuff.

I have a MultiSite install with BuddyPress plugin as the main site.
– I am the only site admin and creator.
– I am not tech literate, just WP basic-intermediate level. Nothing with BuddyPress.
– If it’s better, or easier to manage, I can create a sub site for public stuff related to the BuddyPress site.

Any input and opinions are appreciated.
Thank you

with my default bp installs just about everything IS public.. it’s actually not easy to make the bp pages like activity and groups and such private.

I think most of those things are fine to be public – and people can choose to make groups members only, logged in only, or public viewable.. default is all public I think..

Most profile fields the user can choose similar privacy settings for certain fields if you allow..

Sometimes I make a group non-pulbic viewable as super admin..

I also choose a lot of things to be blocked by the robot search engine spiders – as there is no need for them to go pulling 100 pages of activity feed and such – so even though most of my BP site is publicly viewable, only about half of it is (supposed to be) crawled by the big engines – most follow the robots.txt directive – but not all..

As Steve says, everything is public by default.
