It takes time and the frequent publication of fresh unique content that cannot be found elsewhere on the internet to get search engine attention. http://en.support.wordpress.com/search-engines/

I can access your site here http://mayertownhall.wordpress.com/ using FF16, Chrome 22 and IE8 so your friend must have a browser issue or a connectivity issue.

I gave the address to someone to read and they were not able to access my blog. That is the question; how do I let people read it?

Add the subscribe by email widget to your sidebar so people can follow your site -

Send out summery s when your email goes out

Dashboard >> Settings >> Read >> For each article in a feed, show >> Summery

Then tell people that there is a new news site in town

Search engines don't bother with websites that don't have a fair bit of unique content, so they don't generally index sites that are brand new. Blog more, and wait.
