Checking in to give a progress update. I've been live and online for a little over a month with 4 solid posts under my belt. I thought I would have at least a few browsers (thank you to the 2 commenters from this site!!). I've done a few google searches and don't see my site coming up in the first 4-6 pages. I think I'm doing something wrong. Should I have more terms in my tags or is there somewhere else in WP that I should be adding key words?

Are you backlinking? I'm somewhat at the same stage...
I've been working on backlinking and posting additional unique content on EzineArticles and Squiddo. But I'm a newbie...so I'd be interested in what other say too! ;-)

Is backlinking the process of visiting other similar blogs and commenting? I haven't done that yet but plan to soon. I still have a wedding and some wedding related projects to finish. The wedding is next weekend and I should have time to get things rolling!

It is one way of building links IF the blog owner has a set up that 'follows' your link.
It takes awhile for a site to rank for any particular keyword phrase. I find your site if I search for 'stained glass antics' directly.
What phrases are you trying to be found for?
Hi Tanya,
Your site IS indexed by Google. You can see that by typing "site:stainedglassantics.com" into the Google search box. You definitely want to get links pointing to your site to help your rankings. And are you optimizing your posts for specific keyword phrases?
This is a good starting point for you on marketing your site:
