  when I first joined I checked the option so my blog wouldent show up in search engines. Now I would like it to. Where can I change this?

  I have a follow up question. Like christianjames, I changed my options to allow search engines to show my site. No matter how I search, however, my site never comes up. Am I missing something?

  2 weeks is not a long enough time period.

  Any without knowing where your blog is, there’s no way we can check for you.

  As drmike says 2 weeks is not a long time. Blogs frequently take from 4-6 weeks to show up. The following thread does contain some useful information about how to get your blog registered with MSN, Yahoo, Google etc. https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic.php?id=5859&page&replies=9#post-37917 and if you provide the url to your blog then drmike may be able to provide some further information. :)

  Agreed. Do note I would be happy to edit it out of your post afterwards if you so request it. Wouldn’t be the first time. :)
