  If you’re using the WordPress.com search box, please be aware that it only looks through the content of your posts :)

  It looks like your blog has already been indexed by Google.

  If you’re looking to change the nickname assigned to your posts (your author name) you can do so from Users > My Profile in your dashboard.
