  My question is in regards to the site and whether it comes up when people search me. I tried my name into the search engine and this didn’t come up. What, if anything, do I have to do?

  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

  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/

  Part of the issue is a 10 hour old blog with almost not content on it.

  Also make a few Posts not just static pages – see @TT’s advice above

  I can’t seem to get this site verified. I would really love to speak with someone on live chat about it.
