  I try to netsurf for my own blog, but it never comes up, however I try to find it. Why?

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

  Because your blog is new and has only one post. Search engines are in the business of directing people to things they want to read; the more original information on the site, the faster it gets ranked. Simply blog more and it’ll happen.

  Dear Raincoaster

  Thanks for that. But that doesn’t explain why, when I input my exact blog address into a search engine, e.g. Google, it doesn’t find my blog! Why the heck is that? I literally can’t find it ‘public facing’ anywhere, so feel like I am talking to myself.

  Yes, it does explain it. As far as search engines are concerned, your blog doesn’t exist. Until you have more content and/or incoming links from other people who think your stuff is good enough to link to, you will remain invisible to them.

  If you want to send people to your blog, give them the exact link. http://boywoman.wordpress.com/
