  I know I can invite people to read my blog, but how do others access the blog? I went to settings and clicked on “let search engines display” or words to that effect, but when I type my wordpress address into my search engine, my blog does not appear at all. Silly question, I guess, but I don’t understand.

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

  New blogs take up to several weeks to show up on search engines. If you want it to happen faster, blog more. The more you blog, the faster it happens.

  It can take weeks for search engines to index your blog. It’s publishing posts, not pages 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/
