Are you in Google’s index? If your site has not been crawled, it won’t show up.
Have you submitted a site map?
Try http://www.google.com/webmasters/
It takes time to get picked up and indexed by search engines. There’s nothing to worry about.
You may also rank very poorly on Google for a long time. I’d suggest you do a lot of commenting on other people’s blogs. If you make intelligent comments this will encourage them to visit your site and maybe link to your posts. You need links in order to get PageRank.
You need meaningful links in order to get PageRank.
A link from a site about dogs to your site about motorcycles means very little to Google.
Thank everyone for all explanations, I really hope you’re right and there’s really nothing wrong…only thing I’m still worried about is I can’t even find my home URL in a search, it’s not that it appears further down the pages , it simply doesn’t appear.
Thanks again!
If you have submitted you blog to the search engine and you don’t have any other links from other sites then you on a deserted island as far as Google is concerned. They have no way to know your their. Take mrmist’s advice and sign up for Google webmasters, then be patient.
I’ve already done that, thank you…and now we wait

To be a wee bit pedantic, Pagerank is independent of content — it’s just a measure of how many incoming links “vote” for a page (and those votes count more the more links are pointing at the pages with the incoming links, and so on). Google, for example, has a PageRank of 10, and very few of the sites linking to it are search engines.
But from the point of view of how relevant Google sees you for a particular set of keywords the second part of what Whoo says is bang on. You really want to get people who blog on the same theme as you to link to your articles. It’s especially good if the anchor text in the incoming links is relevant to the theme of the post, but you’ve no control over that.
And especially avoid linking to irrelevant sites in order to get them to link back to you. You’d be wasting your pixels.
