  Hi there,
  All support docs are at http://support.wordpress.com
  search for sitemaps http://en.support.wordpress.com/?s=sitemaps

  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

  It can take weeks for search engines to index content in a new blog and/or to re-index content under a new URL so publish original content frequently http://en.support.wordpress.com/search-engines/
