people finding me
-
Hi I have just set up a new blog called rosehurstrevolution. A few of my friends are trying to find me and can’t. They have put the above in google search and have tried to get on via wordpress.com too. No success. Thanks.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

All your friends need to do is type the URL http://rosehurstrevolution.wordpress.com/ into their upper browser bar and click.
re: search engine discoverability
It can take weeks for search engines to index your site content. Please read this support doc https://en.support.wordpress.com/search-engines/ so you know we have no control over search engines positioning or appearance in the SERPs (search engine page results).
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

Take control of your site and how it appears in search engines.
https://en.blog.wordpress.com/2016/06/02/seo-settings-panel/To gain search engine attention, I recommend that you start publishing posts (not pages) https://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/ frequently. That’s because it can take weeks for search engines to index content in a new blog and/or to re-index content under a new URL.

Thank you so much for your reply. It makes sense now! I have been gradually making progress and have a few trial posts up which one or two people have been able to access. I know I have tons to learn but it’s trial and error I guess. I really appreciate you taking the time to reply to me. Heading over to visit your blog. Rosehurstrevolution.
