  I have a theme showing my own photo, I have written my first post and clicked publish.. Why is my site not visible to the outside world? What do I have to do to activate my blog? At the moment it just says ‘coming soon’

  Hi –

  I’m looking at veryvagus.com and can see it’s hosted by Bluehost not WordPress.com. Is that the site you need help with?

  The site mentioned does not use our managed hosting environment from WordPress.com. Instead, it’s set up on the open source WordPress.org software which is something different.

  This page talks about this differences in more detail:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  Help with that site comes from https://wordpress.org/support/forums/
