  Hi,
  There are evidently only two published posts and one published page on the site. I find the “About” page, and the older of the two posts in Google search results when using the website URL as the search term.

  The search term “michaelandlogan.wordpress.com” produces the first post, the About page, and the author archives pages as the top three Google search results.

  The more recent post will probably appear soon in the results of either of the two Google searches mentioned.

  To verify blog ownership of a WordPress.com hosted blog with the major search engines you must use this process > http://en.support.wordpress.com/webmaster-tools/
  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 can take weeks for search engines to index content in a new blog and/or to re-index content under a new URL.

  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. For more information read > http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2010/01/21/omg-i-cant-find-my-blog-on-google/

  The problem is that you don’t really have any content – two Posts will never search well for a site – you need to add more content

  Hi folks. There is only one post on the site, published in the last 24 hours, that I didn’t find at the top of the Google search results I mentioned.
