How do i publish my blog?
-
I just stated a blog and wish to know how to publish it/make it go live.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Your blog is live. You have a public blog and have published posts.
To verify blog ownership of a WordPress.com blog with the major search engines you must use this process > http://en.support.wordpress.com/webmaster-tools/
Note: Even if you do not verify the blog the content will be indexed by search engines so don’t feel panicky about this please.Note also that WordPress.com automatically supplies sitemaps for our blogs to search engines – we do nothing. http://en.support.wordpress.com/sitemaps/#xml-sitemaps-for-search-engines
It takes weeks for search engines to index content in a new blog and/or to re-index content under a new URL. What attracts search engines is unique content the cannot in posts that cannot be found anywhere else on the internet. Start now publishing original content posts frequently two or even three times weekly. For more information read > http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2010/01/21/omg-i-cant-find-my-blog-on-google/
Lastly note that we cannot assist with search engine issues. They are between the blogger and the search engine. http://en.support.wordpress.com/search-engines/

What the heck!
Look at this site http://wordpress.org
Then look at http://curbestates.com/
Reported to Staff. -
P.S. It looks like the WordPress.org site had been hijacked and was appearing under the other URL as a duplicate site.

It looks like this is an attempt to use domain masking to point the domain to a WordPress.com site, but is pointing to the wrong place.
We strongly discourage domain masking as a way to use a custom domain on WordPress.com because it causes issues with various functionality.
If you wish to direct your domain CURBESTATES.COM to your WordPress.com site, you will need the domain mapping upgrade, and will need to point your name servers to WordPress.com: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

Good morning and happy Friday.
I did purchase the $13 domain mapping/redirect yesterday. How long does it normally take to go into effect? I does take me to the url/domain i own but it shows a general WordPress web page.
Thank you in advance. Cristian

It looks like you have purchased domain mapping but have not changed the name servers to point to WordPress.COM
Please review the steps from @jackiedana above and pay special attention to the name server settings – they need to be changed at your registrar
Once the name servers are changed it takes 24 to 72 hours for changes to reach the far corners of the internet, changes usually start after a few hours. You will probably be the last one to seethe changes due to local caching issues

Good evening. Well i purchased the domain mapping a few days back. It still redirects me to my domain named site but shows wordpress.org intro page instead of my blog page. Is there a way i can check and see if the change are in progress? Thanks in advance.

I see the domain mapping upgrade. However, the name servers still point elsewhere.
You will need to change your name servers with http://1and1.com to the following:
ns1.wordpress.com
ns2.wordpress.com
ns3.wordpress.comOnce that’s done, you will need to wait up to 72 hours for the changes to update across the internet (a process called propagation) and then the domain should be working on your WordPress.com site.

Now for my next step. I was reading around and guess we can edit the edit the CSS on a blog. I wish change a few things, such as fonts and other things. Where would i got to edit this code?

Thank you so much for all your help to date. I am no my 10th post and barely starting to get off the ground. I did have another question. Do I need to upgrade to introduce Adsense or other paying banners?

@curbestates
Hello there,Do I need to upgrade to introduce Adsense or other paying banners?
Neither is allowed.
No blogger initiated advertising is allowed on free hosted WordPress.COM blogs. If you want to monetize a blog then you have two choices only.
1. Hire a web host http://wordpress.org/hosting/ and set up your own WordPress.ORG install. http://wordpress.org/
2. Or apply for WordAds and remain free hosted here. There is only one advertising program at WordPress.COM for blogs on their own domains. If the blog is accepted into the WordAds program then the income is split 50% – 50% with WordPress.COM.
