Why isn't my blog showing up?

    I've just signed-up for a new blog (theherbalist.wordpress.com).

    I can access the back end, but I get re-directed to wordpress.com when I try theherbalist.word...

    I've written my first post, as I thought it might be that.

    Please can someone let me know if this is normal?

    Thanks, The Herbalist.

    Right now you have your blog set up to be "private" so we cannot see it. You can chnage this here -> Dashboard -> Options -> Privacy
    Privacy Options
    Blog visibility:
    ____I would like my blog to appear in search engines like Google and Sphere, and in public listings around WordPress.com.
    ____I would like to block search engines, but allow normal visitors
    ____I would like my blog to be visible only to users I choose

    If you want your blog to be viewed by everyone then mark the first option and click "Update Options".

    If it's set up correctly then you need staff intervention. You have two choices. You can wait as staff do monitor these threads or your can use this link and report the problem directly to staff http://wordpress.com/contact-support/
    N.B. Support hours are 9 - 5 PM weekdays.
