  I dont understand how you link your blog url so readers only get in to read, and can’t use all my dashboard features?

  When l put my blog url – standingupforourselves.wordpress.com – into twitter or facebook, it brings the reader into my admin page??

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

  Make sure that you are logged out of WordPress.com and view your site again (or use a private/incognito browser window). You will not be able to see the admin pages.

  Thanks very much for that. I suspected that but I am finding it hard to find my blog site on google search when I log out of WordPress.

  I understand it better now and was just worried that any reader would be brought to my admin page where they would be able to do what they want. Thanks again

  but I am finding it hard to find my blog site on google search when I log out of WordPress.

  You ought to be logging in directly to your blog’s dashboard by use of this link http://standingupforourselves.wordpress.com/wp-admin/

  It takes 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 the cannot in posts 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/

  The rule of thumb is to assign the least, not the most, combined number of only relevant categories and tags that accurately describe the post content. For tips on tagging see > http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2013/03/15/quick-blog-post-tagging-tips/

  To verify blog ownership of a WordPress.com 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.

  Note also that 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
