What makes you think your blog is blocked? We can control the visibility of our blogs. See here and choose the first option ” I would like my blog to be visible to everyone, including search engines (like Google, Bing, Technorati) and archivers – This is the setting used by most blogs. It lets everyone read your blog and allows your blog to be included in search engines and other content sites.” > http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/
Also note that it may take 4 -6 weeks before search engines index your blog contents. You can verify ownership of your blog with the 3 big search engines by following these instructions > http://en.support.wordpress.com/webmaster-tools/
There are 10 factors that may expedite the indexing process. See > http://www.onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2010/01/21/omg-i-cant-find-my-blog-on-google/

Please post the complete blog URLs strting with http://
for the blogs your have issues with. Until you do that we cannot check anything and only speculate about what’s happening. -
This is the report for the blog linked to your username. Your blog is working and search engine bots are NOT being blocked on it. See > http://ismyblogworking.com/peaceteknix.wordpress.com

I had this too when i created a new blog today (not this one) but i assumed that WordPress now have “Search engines blocked” for ALL new blogs until an option is checked. I did have the sense to change it though.

When we register an additional blog we are prompted as to whether or not we want that blog to be set to private or not. Go here > http://wordpress.com/signup and simply scroll down to take note of this:
Privacy ___ I would like my blog to appear in search engines like Google and Technorati, and in public listings around WordPress.com.
If you made the wrong decision then you can change it as I explained above. Please be clear and provide an answer to this question:
Have you tried changing the Privacy settings on the blogs in question to “I would like my blog to be visible to everyone, including search engines (like Google, Bing, Technorati) and archivers” or not?
If you have followed the instructions, and you have not been able to achieve success then you must file a support ticket with Staff to get their help.
