  Not if you search before it’s indexed. Search engines don’t bother with websites that don’t have a fair bit of unique content, so they don’t generally index sites that are brand new. Blog more, and wait.

  You have an 8 hour old blog with one two sentence Post – my reaction is to ask “you are kidding right?” – it can take search engines 4 to 6 weeks or so to index a new site – and that is assuming you have something for them to index –

  Add the subscribe by email widget to your sidebar so people can follow your site –

  Send out summery s when your email goes out

  Dashboard >> Settings >> Read >> For each article in a feed, show >> Summery

  Then tell people that there is a new news site in town

  Maybe I am not understanding. I gave the address to someone to read and they were not able to access my blog. That is the question; how do I let people read it?

  Hello there,
  Please do not create duplicate threads. I just located this one after I answered you here > https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/gave-someone-my-blog-address-they-cannot-access-it?replies=2#post-1039192

  It takes time and the frequent publication of fresh unique content that cannot be found elsewhere on the internet to get search engine attention. http://en.support.wordpress.com/search-engines/

  I can access your site here http://mayertownhall.wordpress.com/ using FF16, Chrome 22 and IE8 so your friend must have a browser issue or a connectivity issue.
