Domain name not valid
-
Hi, I have just set up a WordPress blog and I’ve chosen a domain name for free. However, if I copy and paste the link in Google it cannot be found, so I’m not sure if my domain name is working and if not, how would I know and/or change it? Please could you help me out? Thanks. :)
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there,
It can take four to six weeks before Google and other search engines will pick up your Blog. =) No worries, though, it still exists!
Here is a link to everything you need to know about getting your site listed in search engines.
This is the Cliff Notes version:
WordPress.com blogs and websites are very search friendly by default. The best advice we can give you about getting listed in search engines is to make sure your Privacy Settings do allow search engines and then write good content and descriptive titles for images.While you can control the basic privacy settings and the content for your blog or website, you cannot control when your site will get picked up by a search engine or how they will rank your site. Those details are up to each search engine, and they are always changing. If you are concerned, you should try to find information from the search engine directly in their help pages to find out what they recommend.
Google provides information and tools for webmasters, where you can seek help.
It may take 4-6 weeks or more for search engines to revisit your blog and discover new content. Registering your site on Google and requesting an update may help speed up discovery.
Have a wonderful day! In the meantime, I would recommend posting your blog places where your friends and family can view it (like on social media or through an e-mail) so that they can find it through the direct link. I hope that helps!
