  I deleted someone’s last name from a post, but when I Google search with the last name, the post still comes up. How do I fix it so that you can no longer find the post using the last name?
  Blog url: http://sweetmaddy.wordpress.com/

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

  I think you are sort of stuck – Google is also not the only search engine – search engines will crawl your site and update their cache’s on a regular basis – how fast depends on how active your blog is, how long it has been active and how much content –
