    I recently changed URL of my wordpress site and it's not coming up on Google now.

    I have a Contact page and I would like the site to come up when I search say Kinesiology and Liverpool.

    Please help.

    http://sepherahealth.wordpress.com/

    The blog I need help with is sepherahealth.wordpress.com.

    Can anyone give me any tips for my website, thanks.

    You changed the URL. As far as Google is concerned, it's a brand new website, and it will take around 4 months to regain its previous status.

    Would site redirect help? If the old address is gone not sure if it could be redirected - the instructions imply it would work

    PS - blog more - new Posts bring search engines to your site

    I don't know. You'd think if it did, it would be offered as part of the name change procedure.

    I see well I was sepheralight.wordpress.com before but I can't change it back for now because I own that under my list of blogs.

    http://sepheralight.wordpress.com/ is alive and well - just export from your new blog and import into your old blog - then after you make sure things were moved OK delete the content from the new site that you just left and put a note that you are back where you started

    Yep, your you can send your new site details to Google and it will take them three weeks to list it.

    Do I have to delete the content from the new blog so that google doesn't think I'm plagiarising or something?

    Is it possible to have a static page as the front page and then have a link to blog page?

    Set the extra blog to Private, so you have somewhere to test themes and widgets. It's always useful.

    You can set a static page as the opening page by creating the page, then going to Settings->General (or it might be Reading) and choosing the static page from the drop down menu.
