  I think I have set up my website. I can view it but when I search the internet using chrome and the full name of the site XXX.wordpress.com I get no returns.

  Hi there,

  Your site is only three days old, so you won’t find it yet when you search for it in Google, or any other search engine. Before a site can appear in online search results, search engines must first index the site, and this process takes weeks.

  For now, focus on publishing new posts on your site regularly, and it will start appearing in search results over time.

  This makes a lot of sense, I will now concentrate on the other pages I wanted to add and set up more categories and tags fir the search engine to find (eventually!!)
  Thank you.
