Public finding new blog

How do friends and public find my new blog?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Give them the link.
It takes up to seven weeks for new blogs to be indexed by search engines. The more you blog original, text-rich material, the faster it happens.

As raincoaster said it takes weeks for search engines to index content in a new blog and/or to re-index content under a new URL. And, 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/
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
Lastly note that we cannot assist with search engine issues. They are between the blogger and the search engine. http://en.support.wordpress.com/search-engines/

You will want to consider assigning tags and categories to your posts so they are found by those browsing the WordPress.com Topics (categories and tags) pages and the search engine page results. Make sure you don’t exceed the combined total of 15 categories and tags you assign to any post. All reasons for non-appearance of posts on Topics pages can be found here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/topics/#missing-posts
The rule of thumb is to assign to your posts the least, not the most, combined number of only relevant categories and tags that accurately describe the individual post content.
