  Hi there,

  Let’s see if we can figure out what’s going on here!

  The URL of your blog is unashamed4793.wordpress.com, and from my end that is working just fine.

  Where online are you looking? If you are trying to search for it on Google, then it takes quite a while for Google to index sites.

  It typically takes 4-6 weeks or more for search engines to add new sites to the listing, so give it some time and check back in a few weeks to see if it’s been added. In the mean time, you can connect your site to Google’s Search Console to help Google find and include your site a little faster.

  For more information on Search Engines visit the Search Engine support page at:

  https://en.support.wordpress.com/search-engines/

  Let me know if this helps to answer your question!

  Anna.

  Hi unashamed4793,

  Your new website can be found here – https://unashamed4793.wordpress.com/

  If by un-locateble online you mean, not showing up on Google search do not that WordPress.com automatically sends notifications to Google with every post and page update. The search engines can take 4-6 weeks or more to add any new sites. While not necessary to be included in Google’s index, connecting your site to Google’s Search Console can help Google include your site more quickly.

  Hope this helps.

  Thanks
  Alexander G.
