  To verify blog ownership of a WordPress.com hosted blog with the major search engines you must use this process > http://en.support.wordpress.com/webmaster-tools/
  Note: Even if you do not verify the blog the content will be indexed by search engines so don’t feel panicky about this please.

  WordPress.com automatically supplies sitemaps for our blogs to search engines – we do nothing. http://en.support.wordpress.com/sitemaps/#xml-sitemaps-for-search-engines

  It can take weeks for search engines to index content in a new blog and/or to re-index content under a new URL. What attracts search engines is unique content in posts (not pages) that cannot be found anywhere else on the internet. Start now publishing original content posts frequently two or even three times weekly. For more information read > http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2010/01/21/omg-i-cant-find-my-blog-on-google/

  thanks for that – the indexing i understand. But it wont even bring the site up by directly typing in the url into my browser search bar!

  http://fivecarryoninacarvan.com/ – loads fine for me

  Don’t use the browser search bar – you have a 5 day old blog with not much content in it – – it takes 4 to 7 weeks for search engines to fully index a new site and that is only if there is something worth indexing

  Your site loads fine for me. If it hadn’t loaded yesterday I would have said so.

  Wow, thanks for trying. Did you just type in http://www.fivecarryoninacaravan.com in your browser?

  This is the correct URL http://fivecarryoninacarvan.com/

  The ‘www’ is extra useless baggage. All www URLs redirect to the same site without the www. www is an old protocol from back when everything was under separate server hardware. www (www.example.com) was the web server, mail (mail.example.com) was the mail server, ftp (ftp.example.com) was the FTP server, print (print.example.com) was the print server, etc.

  These days, everything is run under the web server, making www. redundant and a waste of four characters.

  fivecarryoninacaravan.com

  has a spelling problem so you will never get there from here

  http://fivecarryoninacarvan.com/ – Good URL
  http://fivecarryoninacaravan.com/ – wrong URL
