Hey there, so none of my blog posts are showing up at all. It says that they have been “published” but when my friends or I look at it online all it says is the about me section. I am about to just delete my domain and get a refund because this is ridiculous. I am paying for something that isn’t even working… PLEASE let me know if you have an suggestions or possible solutions. Thank you!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there,
The blog is public and your domain mapping is working perfectly. You have published a single post so far. It can take weeks for search engines to index content in a new blog and/or to re-index content under a new URL. https://en.support.wordpress.com/search-engines/
What attracts search engines is unique content in posts (not pages) that cannot be found anywhere else on the internet. Start now publishing original content posts frequently two or even three times weekly.

Note: Even if you do not verify the blog the content will be indexed by search engines so don’t feel panicky about this please.WordPress.com automatically supplies sitemaps for our blogs to search engines – we do nothing. http://en.support.wordpress.com/sitemaps/#xml-sitemaps-for-search-engines
It takes time and effort to build a collection of unique content, to promote it, and to attract followers. It takes weeks for search engines to index content in a new blog and/or to re-index content under a new URL.
It is commenting on other blogs with similar content that encourages traffic to flow to your own blog and I believe this will help you Finding Blogs with Similar Content http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2014/01/20/finding-blogs-with-similar-content/
