  It’s up to Google when and how to include your blog in search results but there are a couple things to check.

  First, make sure you haven’t blocked search engines at Settings > Privacy.

  Second, you may find the webmaster tools that search engines offer helpful.

  Search engines also look for links into and out of blogs, the more activity the more likely it will be picked up. So link things to your friend’s blogs, have them link to yours.

  YOU ARE USING ALL CAPS. WHEN THE INTERNET WAS BORN AN OLD GYPSY WOMAN MADE THE EVIL EYE SYMBOL AND LAID A CURSE ON THOSE WHO TYPE IN ALL CAPS; UNTIL THEY LEARN TO USE PROPER CAPITALIZATION, THEIR BLOGS SHALL FOREVER WANDER IN THE WILDERNESS, UN-INDEXED BY SEARCH ENGINES.

  Take heed.

  You’re only a day old and it will take a week or more to get indexed on search engines.

  And that week could be up to six depending on how busy the google bots are.

  I tried to hold it in.

  Also, I think I might have met that old Gypsy woman.
