Your blog is has no content. Hence Google has yet to index it. 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.

re: 404 front page error message
By default the front page of your blog displays all posts. The 404 (page not found) error message on the front page of the blog appeared because the Admin of the blog deleted the placeholder Hello World post. http://en.support.wordpress.com/not-found/ As soon as you publish a post, not a page it will disappear. Read the differences between Pages and Posts.

As you have discovered deleting blog content and even a blog wherein content has been indexed by search engines does not delete it from the SERPs (search engine page results). Google and Bing appear to clear their caches of indexed content that produces a 404 (pager not found) every 3 - 6 months or so. We cannot help with this. All search engine issues are between the blogger and the search engine.

You need to edit your posts and add categories and tags. Do not use more than the minimum combined number that are relevant and accurately describe post content. See http://en.support.wordpress.com/topics/#missing-posts

@thesacredpath
Good morning!

@silversnowdrop
The highest change of getting what you want displayed by Google in terms of on effective keyword rich Title and Tagline is character count sensitive.

A gleeful account of the escapades of two 20-somethings, our dogs and a little house in Austin.

That's a 95 character inclusive of spaces Tagline (sans Site Title. See here and note the third bullet point. http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2009/06/22/creating-an-effective-blog-tagline/ and avoid creating a lengthy tagline.

What the search engines pick up for a description/snippet is sort of up to them, and sometimes that might not be what you intended. As they index and as you create more content, they will most likely update that. One of the things that you can do to increase the likelihood that they pick up what you want is to go to settings > general and put what you want them to pick up into the tagline/site description field. There is still no guarantee they will pick it up, but there is a higher chance.

I've changed themes and it is still happening, how can I change this?

No question is stupid. Not to worry about that. I had already checked Google for you. Your blog is indexed by Google (23 results). Best wishes for happy blogging.

You could change your username to that name. You could also use the name in the blog a lot. Note that for new blogs it can take up to several weeks to get listed in searches.

thistimethisspace on "keywords"

thistimethisspace — Sat, 06 Apr 2013 21:43:54 +0000

There is no such thing here at WordPress.com as setting a keyword to an entire blog. We add categories and tags to posts, not to blogs and not to pages.
http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/categories/
http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/tags/
http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/

This is a multi-user blogging platform. Our blogs share a common architecture. We bloggers cannot access metadata. http://en.blog.wordpress.com/2013/03/22/seo-on-wordpress-com/

That being said it's of interest to note meta titles, meta descriptions and keyword metatags are not required for SEO purposes and Matt Cutts of Google has said that as far back as 2009. Search engines are focused on keywords in your content. What is important is keywords found in your content. http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2012/03/01/revisiting-keywords-and-tags/

To verify blog ownership of a WordPress.com blog with the major search engines you must use this process > http://en.support.wordpress.com/webmaster-tools/ Note also that WordPress.com automatically supplies sitemaps for our blogs to search engines - we do nothing. http://en.support.wordpress.com/sitemaps/#xml-sitemaps-for-search-engines

WordPress.com SEO is very good and there is no need for any SEO the plugin. If you had two identical sites, one hosted here and one self-hosted using that same plugin, the site hosted here would have better SEO than the self-hosted site. WordPress.com has huge SEO and you get the benefit of that by having your site as a "subdomain" here.

These 5 videos introduce how Google discovers, crawls, indexes your site’s pages, and how Google displays them in search results. It also touches lightly upon challenges webmasters and search engines face, such as duplicate content http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2010/03/22/5google-webmasters-video-tutorials/

If you are using a WordPress.com theme good SEO is a given. However, going beyond the theme what the blogger has done within that structure is worth evaluating. Whether you write informative, persuasive or controversial content learning how search engines work, and how to apply basic SEO to you content will benefit your blog as it will increase traffic from targeted readers. http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2011/10/21/two-seo-videos-for-bloggers/

Search engines detect and use keywords when indexing your posts and each tag has a unique descriptive keyword term – permalink. Theoretically assigning relevent Tags/Categories to posts helps potential readers locate relevant content in search results, and increases the odds your content will be found by new readers.
