What settings are necessary for people to be able to go to my blog on WordPress?

  I tried putting my blog URL into Safari, and it can’t find my blog. I also tried searching for my blog on Google, but it’s not showing up. When I use the Domain Helper on WordPress to validate my domain, it says “Oops, try another domain.” Is there some setting that is preventing my blog from coming up in Safari? I need to get this sorted urgently, because I’m going to a big convention on Wednesday, and I want to order some cards with my blog name on it to give out to people — and of course I have to order them today to get them in time. Many thanks.

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

  Hi there. What exactly did you insert into Safari?

  Your blog’s URL is https://oliviamariecreate.wordpress.com/. I see you only have one post so far on that blog, so you won’t find it if you search for it in Google, and simply typing in the title also won’t make it load. New blogs can take weeks before they will appear in search results, and even longer if you don’t post regularly.

  I can see your blog if I input the URL in Firefox, Chrome and IE (sorry, don’t have Safari). If it doesn’t want to load in Safari even if you insert the correct URL, try clearing your browser cache and cookies and see if it loads then. http://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/

  Okay, great. Thanks for this. My daughter helped me sort it, and we can find it now if we input the URL into Safari.
