  I created my webpage last night, but I am not finding it when I search for it on Google and Bing. Also, is there a tutorial on how to use the page? I have a hard time being able to go back to my main page and posting. Thank you.

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

  Hi there,

  Unfortunately, search engines take time to document all new websites. Per this help document, WordPress.com automatically sends notifications to Google with every post and page update. The search engines can take 4-6 weeks or more to add any new sites. Connecting a Google account with verified site ownership through Google’s webmaster tools may help register your site for inclusion. Please contact Google for more information.

  WordPress.com blogs and websites are very search friendly by default. The best advice we can give you about getting listed in search engines is to make sure your Privacy Settings do allow search engines and then write good content and descriptive titles for images.

  While you can control the basic privacy settings and the content for your blog or website, you cannot control when your site will get picked up by a search engine or how they will rank your site. Those details are up to each search engine, and they are always changing. If you are concerned, you should try to find information from the search engine directly in their help pages to find out what they recommend.

  I hope that answers your question. Happy blogging!
