  Hello

  My site is up and running, needs more work, but workable.

  Can someone tell me why, although all pages are “published” and work on our website of http://www.bushsandandsea.co.nz, when i do a google search, on for example, “Rates & Bookings – Bush Sand and Sea
  http://www.bushsandandsea.co.nz/ratesbookings‎” i get a message-“Not Found
  Apologies, but the page you requested could not be found. Perhaps searching will help.”

  Be glad of the help. Thank you, Lyn

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

  Because it’s new. It takes several weeks for search engines to fully index a new site, and static pages have much less google juice than do blog posts.
