It can take weeks for search engines to index your blog. It's publishing posts, not pages that attracts search engine attention.

The process we use for verifying free hosted WordPress.com blogs with search engines is found here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/webmaster-tools/

Note: Even if you do not verify the blog the content will be indexed by search engines so don't feel panicky about this please.

WordPress.com provides the search engines with site maps. We bloggers do nothing. http://en.support.wordpress.com/sitemaps/

Is there a way to delete pending comments all at once, rather than doing it in groups of 20, page-by-page? A wordpress blog I work with has ~4000 pending comments, and they're all spam. It would be really nice to be able to delete them all in one bulk action. I've found lots of ways to do this on a wordpress.org site where you have more control, but nothing yet for wordpress.com sites.

Thanks!

When an image is attached to a WordPress.com post, that means that the image will be visible in galleries or slideshows if they are inserted for that post. The attachment status, however, doesn't indicate if an image was actually embedded individually into blog posts or other web pages.

So, it's a tough problem if you want to go through and delete images from your media library. WordPress.com doesn't have any filters that will display a list of definitely-not-used images like that.

Thanks!!

Starting multiple threads with the same questions only confuses and irritates people and wastes resources and really does not get you help any sooner.

Please follow the instructions carefully. You'll receive an email during the reset process, so make sure you read it for imhttp://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/deleting-a-blog-19?replies=5portant instructions. If you don't receive the email right away, check your spam folders as well. The confirmation email can get caught in them sometimes.

As previously mentioned, to gain access to a WordPress.com account, we'll need one of the following things:

* An email from the email address on file for the account
* The API key associated with the account

There are several WordPress.com accounts that have Administrative access to the blog you listed above. If you can recall who had access to the blog that far back, I would suggest reaching out to one of those users and requesting they help you with deleting the blog.

To permanently delete your blog, please follow this guide (once you have access to the account):
http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/delete-blog/

The Website is available only to individuals who are at least 13 years old.

So your only hope is finding the email address, and resetting the password, or finding the API key.

But, basically, you'll need the email address associated with the account, or the API number.

This support forum is for blogs hosted at WordPress.com. If your question is about a self-hosted WordPress blog then you'll find help at the WordPress.org forums.

If you don't understand the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org, you may find this information helpful.

If you forgot to include a link to your blog, you can reply and include it below. It'll help people to answer your question.

It started good, but now every time that I switch from the HTML to the visual editor it deletes all the paragraph I typed.

Also, all of the sudden wordpress stopped rendering the tag. It shows it on the visual (yeah it does not deletes that sentence) and when I go see the website when im logged out of dashboard, it does not appear as italics.

anyone have any experience like this?

Note that you have complete control comment moderation. http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/discussion-settings/#comment-moderation If your blog is public others can, of course, read it. They can submit comments but you can Moderate all comments and choose which ones to approve or not.

One other thing I would suggest is to set your blog so that first time commenters are held in moderation till approved, then from that point forward they will not need approval. Settings > Discussion. The next step on that of course is to set it so that all comments are held in moderation until approved.
http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/discussion-settings/

For trolls, you can “blacklist” them at Settings > Discussion toward the bottom of that page. Enter their email address, their username, and if they included it, their website. That will automatically send them to moderation so that their comments do not appear on the blog. Do note though that if they are determined, they can use a different email address or username to get around that. Also, do not put their IP address in the blacklist. IP addresses are no longer unique, and you might end up blocking legitimate visitors. Also, all they would have to do is go to a wi-fi hot spot, or connect via a different ISP and they could get around that.
