  I published my first blog 6 hours ago, published it, but cannot search for it. I get a message: this site will be launched soon… why so long to come on?

  Hi there,

  Please share your website address.

  If your site is on WordPress.com, on creating your site, by default, the site will be Private. You will need to launch your site first for which you will need to verify your email address, after verification you can launch your site & change its privacy, please check the below link for more details:

  Also, search engines can take 4-6 weeks or more to show any newly created sites, please check the below link for more details:

  Hope this helps!

  Cheers,
