  It takes time for search engines to index your content. Your blog will eventually be indexed by search engines unless you’ve chosen to block them under Settings->Privacy.
  It’s up to Google to decide when and how to include your site in search results, we have no control over that.

  Google provides information and tools for webmasters, you might find further information there. http://en.support.wordpress.com/webmaster-tools/

  Also there are 10 factors that may expedite indexing.

  @leanladie – you only have one Post and one Page – not much for a search engine to take much notice of – and the one Post is an edited default “Hello” – try writing some new content. Even a Post on a brand new blog will be picked up within a few hours by search engines.
