  Is this the site you are talking about, http://lynneotterphotographer.wordpress.com/ ?

  Search engines are not instantaneous. It can take 4-6 weeks for them to get around to indexing your site and possibly another couple weeks for them to figure out where to put you, and it can take 3-6 months or more to build up enough search engine ranking to show up higher in searches. You have only two posts. Keep posting, categories and tag your posts appropriately and do not use too many (10-12 total tags + categories is about the maximum).

  Tell your friends and family the URL of your site and have them tell their friends and family, and have a look at these links.

  That should be, …categorize and tag your posts…

  PS – fix your title and tag line to a more professional something

  Dashboard >> Settings >> General >> Title / Tagline
