blog not searchable pacificakpfk.wordpress.com
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there!
I just tried a couple searches on your blog, and it appears to be functioning.
Several search terms yield no results, but this is because your site still has very little content. As you add more posts, more words will be on your site and the search results will be more valuable.
Is there a specific search error your seeing?

Thank you, but I meant I can’t go or dogpile or google and search for PacificaKPFK wordpress and find it.

Hi there,
Thanks for the explanation. So the first way to test this is to put the actual URL into a search engine. If your site shows up, that means the search engine has indexed your site.
Looks like Google has indexed your site:
http://d.pr/i/r22PSince the site is being included in Google’s index, when it doesn’t appear for search terms like you described, it means Google still doesn’t really know what your site’s about. Your site is still new, so it’s not much to worry about. The process if increasing your ranking in search engines is called Search Engine Optimization (SEO.) The best thing you can do to increase your sites SEO is add new content regularly that relates to your site’s values.
Even posting in this forum helped your site’s SEO for those terms, “PacificaKPFK wordpress:”
We have several suggestions on how to help your website’s SEO here:
Let me know if you have more questions on how your blog appears in search engines.
While looking at your site, I also noticed your domain, pacificakpfk.org currently does not have its name servers pointed to your WordPress site. Do you need help completing that part of the domain mapping?

Dear A. G.,
Do I have my domain name right?
On top of all, I want to change my name to PacificaKPFK2014+.wordpress.com
Thank you for your help,

Hi Sue,
Happy to help.
Your domain name, pacificakpfk.org was actually not setup correctly. According to this public search, this domain is still available for purchase. You purchased through us the Domain Mapping upgrade — this is meant for situations when you’ve bought a Domain somewhere else, but want to use it on WordPress.com.
To clear things up, I’ve removed that subscription from your account and refunded the purchase.
If you’d like to register pacificakpfk.org, you’ll need click Register a New Domain Name in your My Domains page. Follow the instructions here:
Once you purchase that domain, your site will appear to readers as pacificakpfk.org instead of pacificakpfk.wordpress.com.
I can help you change your “pacificakpfk.wordpress.com” address if you like — but if you register pacificakpfk.org your readers won’t ever see it. Also, only letters and numbers can be used for blog addresses – no special characters like “+”.
Let me know what you’d prefer.
Best,

I guess I’d better finalize on PacificaKPFK2014.wordpress.com
What’s my next step?
thanks so much for your help,
When I send these may I include a discreet photo?

If I get a private domain, will it still appear on search engines?
I want PacificaKPFK2014.wordpress.com regardless. -
Hi Sue,
If you select Private Registration when purchasing a custom domain, your site will still be indexed by search engines. The private registration protects your personal information from being listed along with your domain information. Read more about private registration here:
You can change your blog address to PacificaKPFK2014.wordpress.com following these instructions:

Which would be my most easily findable name: PacificaKPFK2014.wordpress.com or .org, or
PacificaKPFK2014.com or .org
?
Thanks again, sue -
I would suggest going for PacificaKPFK2014.com. .com domains are the most recognizable to users.
However, if you’re a non-profit organization, you may want to get both! Then you can use the .org domain for your site, but if anyone visits the .com domain, they’ll be redirected to your site. :)
Let me know if I can help further!

If I change my theme will I lose all my content postings?
Is there a theme or a setup that will let anyone post any time, they don’t have to be set up or approved by me? Thanks Sue PacificaKPFK2014.com -
You will not lose any content when you change your theme.
I don’t believe we have a theme that would let anyone post at any time. That sounds more like a forum than a website. Is a forum functionality more what you’re looking for?

Short of a forum, is there a theme or setup that’s closest to that?

So I got the domain : pacificakpfk2014.com. Is there something else I should do to make it findable on search engines? Is there any mapping or anything else I should do if they search on ‘pacificakpfk’ will they find it? Thanks, sue pacificakpfk2014.com

Which theme will display my pictures in the widest, largest version? And also give me a text area and a widget banner on the right?

Since we aren’t really a forum platform, we don’t really have themes that support that functionality.

Search engines just need some time to index your site and update their search databases. Here’s some more information about that:

Which theme will display my pictures in the widest, largest version? And also give me a text area and a widget banner on the right?
I’m not sure what your first question here means. Almost all of our themes can have an Image widget added. Here’s a search for all themes with a right sidebar:
-
I tried the Intergalactic theme but when I post pictures they are narrower than the text box, no matter how big they are. Can I make them fill the text box? Can I make them edge to edge of the blog?
It didn’t seem to have a right side bar. Or could I add one? probably.
pacificakpfk2014.com
If they put pacifica kpfk without the 2014 can they find me in a search engine?
How about pacificakpfk?
