  When it first asked me to leave a comment and let everyone know what my site was about, I went and re-read it and found a ‘typo’. How do I go back and fix it? Thank you for your support.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  i changed the name of this blog to Surprising Cities http://surprisingcities.wordpress.com/

  I did something, don’t know what but now it says that Surprising Cities is a “hidden” blog. How do I unhide it?

  And, when I go to google it under Surprising Cities I get other sites.

  How can I correct all of this? Do I have to start a new blog?

  It’s not hidden (private) now. It will take some time for that result to be driven down the SERPS (search engine page results) as you publish new content.

  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 in posts (not pages) 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/

  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

  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/
