  Hi! I appologise as I’m very untechnical. I’ve followed the steps to make my blog public and available to search engines and nobody can find it. It just doesn’t appear anywhere. What am I doing wrong

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

  If you are asking about http://aprilhardywritinginthesand.wordpress.com/ it has one Post and one Page – not much for search engines to grab onto – it takes serch engines 4 to 6 weeks to index a new site, and that is only if you have content worth indexing.

  You need to blog more

  I’m very new to blogging, so no, there isn’t much content yet! But thank you for the links. I’m sure they’ll be very helpful.
