  To set the time:
  dashboard > settings > general > timezone

  Search engines will take more than a few hours to find your blog.

  There are lots of posts in this forum about how to publicize your blog if you do some simple searches.
  Writing well and often, using tags and categories are very important.

  putting : site:http://wordpress.com/ YOUR_SEARCH_TERMS into the Google search bar
  and searching the forum (via search box or tags in the sidebar)
  are all useful.

  best wishes!
