  Hi, I’ve set up a website with WordPress but how do I check if it’s up and running in the UK?

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

  Hi!

  Are you referring to https://mineheadglazing.wordpress.com/?

  It should ideally be up and running everywhere in the world with no restrictions. There is no native feature on WordPress.com that lets you browse your site as if from being in a different place.

  If it helps though, you can try using a service like TunnelBear https://www.tunnelbear.com/ to browse your site from UK and see if it works right. I had a look at it and things look fine.

  I hope this helps. Feel free to get back if you have questions.

  Hi again, I’m really not very good with computers, I type in Minehead glazing and even (email visible only to moderators and staff) in Google chrome and there doesn’t seem to be any sign of my website, what am I doing wrong?

  https://mineheadglazing.wordpress.com/ is working just fine. You’re not doing anything wrong but you are expecting Google to instantly index your brand new empty site. Although WordPress.com is very search-engine friendly it can take quite a while before new sites are trawled and added to search engine databases. You can improve your chances by removing the default images and posting unique interesting content, text and images etc showing the type of work your company produces.
