  Why aren’t my newly published pages showing up on my blog for viewers to see? I recently published two about pages for my blog. One about the blog, the other about myself. But, when I search for the blog online, and it comes up, it says no content found. I haven’t written a post yet, but the pages are published. Why aren’t they showing up?

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

  Because search engines like posts, not pages. If you want to get indexed properly, write posts. That attracts search engine crawlers who will then even index your static pages.

  You also have NO WIDGETS that lead to your pages, and a theme without a tabbed header, in other words, you have no way to lead people to your pages at all. Choose a widget-ready theme and use the Pages widget or use a theme with a tabbed header. And wait up to seven weeks to be indexed by search engines. If you’re only going to make pages, you can wait up to a year or more.

  Thank you so much for your help! I was able to change the theme to one that supports pages.
