  I’ve just set up a blog, and did two postings. Only one appears on the page. SHould they all appear, with the newest one on top, or does only the newest one appear with the others available on the sidebar?

  They should both appear, the newest one on top.

  It can be theme dependant.

  If this is your blog in the Kubrick theme then I see only one post on the front page. This theme does not automatically limit the number of posts on the front page. As your wrote two posts this makes me wonder if you didn’t click “save” instead of “publish”. If that is what happened then you will be able to find the draft here -> Manage -> Status (Draft) -> Filter (When you locate the post click “Edit” and you can open the post and publish it.)

  If that’s not the case then you could have accidentally written a Page instead of a Post. Is that what this is? http://markadamsvidioview.wordpress.com/its-my-first-time/

  If that’s the case -> Manage -> Pages is where you find it. If so then you can copy and paste the contents into a post -> Write -> Post and then go back and delete the page.

  Or published it as a draft? Or did TT cover that? :)

  Yup – mistakenly saved as a draft is covered in paragraph one. :)

  Just remember that Google is your best friend. Ask it questions and you can usually, in due time after banging your head on the computer, figure out how to run a blog and what the hell it all means.

  But to be listed in search engines, submit your site here on the right – http://www.submitexpress.com/ Submit it to only the top 40 search engines. And also claim your blog at Technorati and place Technorati’s buttons and such on your site. And make sure to ping your blog. I ping mine at http://technorati.com/ping and http://www.pingoat.com/ And email other similar sites like yours for link exchanges on each other’s blogrolls. And to get listed on search engines, try to get your blog on at least one person’s blog that is already listed on Google. This way when they get indexed, your site will then be indexed. Or edit your profile here on the forum so it includes your site to your username on the forum when clicked.
