  Yes, you just need to flag your blog as Mature so kids don’t stumble across it. I’ll report it now for staff to set as Mature.

  You can go to the front of your blog and click the “report blog” link in the dropdown from the Admin bar to report it to Staff as “mature”. For details re: mature content blogs.
  A blog that is marked as Mature is excluded from public areas of the WordPress.com service. This means:

  It is not eligible to be featured in Freshly Pressed on the front page of WordPress.com
  It will not appear in global tag listings
  It will not appear in Top Blogs listings, recent posts, or related posts listings on other blogs
  The blog’s users cannot use that URL as a link in their WordPress.com Forums profile
  from http://en.support.wordpress.com/mature-content/

  thanks timethief. that was informative
  Im now debating in my mind if wordpress is the right medium for my writings ( erotic fictional stories). Im just wondering now that with all these restrictions (which makes sense btw) how to drive traffic to my blogs and also curious if their are others using wordpress for the same thing I intend to or is it just me?

  The “restrictions” don’t remove your site from searches. They just remove them from the WP.com tag pages. There are thousands of erotica writers hosted at WordPress.com.

  I posted in my blog. Cant seem to find the report tab to mark it mature
  Wordpress is proving to be difficult to use…which is surprising. I expected it to be easier

  LOOK on the grey Admin bar, on the left hand side. In the drop-down menu it’s there.
