Tagging a post and getting your blog noticed
-
Hello all, this is my first blog. So I successfully managed to post my first blog on my new site, atelierjonathanberger.wordpress.com, but i couldn’t seem to add tags I wrote to the particular post, and I also wonder now if there is another proactive step I need to take to get this blog noticed on the internet, (indexed is the term I think??) Any help would be greatly appreciated.
-Jonathan,
P.S. I was planning on going onto my facebook pg to tell people about my new blog but I wonder if it’s too early – will they be able to find it yet?The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Some answers:
How to get noticed is the most ask question here, do a bit or research in the forum and you will find hundreds of ideas.
Lots of good information here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/
Don’t “tell” your friends about your blog – give them a link they can click on, you never want someone to need to Google your site to find it. Also put a link on your Facebook page or wherever so your friends and visitors can just click on a link to your site.
Write stuff that is interesting enough that your friends and visitors will want to share your writing with their friends.
It can also take 4 to 6 weeks for a new site to get indexed by search engines. See the link above on how to register your site.

Thanks so much for taking the time to answer this. I have taken your advice and I have put a direct link onto my FB page.
Thanks again, I appreciate it,
