  Hello!
  I just created a blog for myself, the setup is complete and I can access the dashboard. However, I can’t ‘visit my site’. That is, I can’t see OR find (by typing URL) my blog! I had even set up a theme, updated my profile and all, but I haven’t yet been able to ‘see’ my blog and have no clue what it looks like yet.

  I get the message: “It seems we can’t find what you’re looking for. Perhaps searching can help.”

  I can see this blog link in my account though.

  Please help!

  Thanks a ton,
  Shubhi

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  As soon as you publish a post not a page the error message will be gone. http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/

  Suburbia description notes http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/suburbia/
  live demo site http://suburbiademo.wordpress.com/

  On the main page, Suburbia doesn’t display regularly inserted images. Regularly inserted images only display when a post is viewed on its own page – not on the front page.

  To have front page image display you need to set a featured image to each post and make each post a sticky post. Note that the size of the featured image does matter. Featured image dimensions are critical to display. The featured image works best with images at least 350 by 248 (width, height) – smaller images will not work.

  Setting a Featured Image > http://en.support.wordpress.com/featured-images/#setting-a-featured-image
  Sticky posts > http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/post-visibility/#sticky-posts

  If you don’t see the Featured Image module on your Add New or Edit Post page, please make sure you’ve selected Featured Image in your Screen Options. http://en.support.wordpress.com/screen-options

  The “S” is the header image that you can replace with one of your own. The custom header image is 155 by 155 (width, height). That header image can be replaced here > Appearance > Header.
