  No matter what I do on my iPad, my blog site cannot be found on any blog search I do on either the yahoo or google search engine. Is there something that needs to be turned on at your end or something I need to do on this one.

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

  It can take weeks for search engines to index your blog. It’s publishing posts, not pages frequently that attracts search engine attention.

  The process we use for verifying free hosted WordPress.com blogs with search engines is found here > 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 provides the search engines with site maps. We bloggers do nothing. http://en.support.wordpress.com/sitemaps/

  Your blog is 3 days old with one Post from yesterday – follow @TT’s advice above and blog more – it takes 4 to 6 weeks to be indexed by search engines and that is if you give them a reason to index your blog – blog more
