  WordPress.com blogs and websites are very search friendly by default. Make sure your Privacy Settings do allow search engines and then write good content and descriptive titles for images.

  While you can control the basic privacy settings and the content for your blog or website, you cannot control when your site will get picked up by a search engine or how they will rank your site. Those details are up to each search engine, and they are always changing.

  You might find following resources useful to have search engines crawl and index your site:

  @akumarjain
  I believe georgie73 is referring to this on the front page of the site:

  Oops! That page can’t be found.

  It looks like nothing was found at this location. Maybe try one of the links below or a search?

  Thank you @timethief for bringing my attention to the content of the blog. I just read following in the question:

  it does not come up in google

  @georgie73, you need to build the content on your website before Google can index your site. The links shared with you in my earlier response have more details about the content and its relationship with SEO.
