  Hi, Yoko. Well, the good news is that simply by asking this question, there is now a Google search result for “Yokotopia WordPress.” ;^)

  But this support page may answer some of your questions:

  You can also promote your blog by connecting it to your social media accounts, like Facebook:

  it takes 4 to 7 weeks for a new web site to be fully indexed by search engines, and that is only if there is content worth indexing. You have a new site with no content.

  You need to make more Posts

  Search engines like new and original content
