There could be lots of reasons, starting with there is a robots.txt file that is disallowing Googlebot from crawling your site, there is a meta noindex tag on your blog pages, there is an HTTP noindex directive sent from your web server when loading your blog pages, there are no other pages on the web that link to your blog, or Google simply doesn't think that your blog content is high quality enough to index or rank.
The first thing you should do, if you haven't already, is to create a Google Search Console account for your domain or subdomain where your blog is. That will give you actionable insights as to why Google isn't crawling or indexing it.
You can also check out DaniWeb's own backlink checker to see if webpages linking to your blog are doing so correctly in a way that Google is able to successfully discover and crawl. Without any links on other sites pointing to your blog, Google will have no way of finding it on its own.
