First content indexed by Google
I know I shouldn't have been too worried about my content getting indexed by Google quite yet. After all, I had only posted 2 articles - the first "about me" and my first content post. My post really old my story ---laid the groundwork. I really wanted Google to confirm it was worthy.
Today, after reading several WA member posts and training posts (and not really understanding how to make sense of it all) I tackled Google Webmaster. After endless tries, I figured out that I had to enter a google verification code on the WordPress customization.menu under "Google Search Console"
Finally, Google verified my ownership!
After performing the URL inspection, I was given an option to "request indexing" for my post. Could it be true? Will my post get indexed by Google?
After looking at my WA websites page about every 15 minutes afterward, FINALLY! about 3 hours later, the colored-in "G" appeared with the blue box text :This content has been indexed in Google!
Reading numerous other posts gave me the insight that when this happens, it is a really happy event and IT REALLY IS!
I am starting to think that I just might be able to make this work! .

Hi congrats! Don’t be too worried, google was taking 1-2 weeks indexing my posts at first until I started to ‘fetch as google’ which makes it quicker. :) I did this just the other day actually through homepage url and four posts got indexed in one day! :D
To make it easier, whenever you write a post, just copy the url and fetch as google and This well help index your post quicker (mine are normally indexed within a day or two) :)
Congratulations on getting indexed.
Yes it is a big deal and you should be really proud of yourself.
Wishing you all the best here
