OK, now I can find the links, but can google? It’s not supposed to follow links from LW. I think WP advertises new accounts somewhere, but I don’t think it’s worth much. I suggest you link to it from gwern.net and/or google plus. Also that you link to your google drive public folder.
(I predict that if you don’t link to the WP page, google will eventually find it and index it, but not index the pdfs. So if someone searches for the title of the article, google will produce the hit, but google scholar won’t have it. And “eventually” might be more than month.)
How to use wordpress to upload and publicize files:
Files show up at gwern0.files.wordpress.com/2013/09/original_name.
There’s also an “attachment page” at gwern0.wordpress.com/?attachment_id=##, but only after you publish the associated post, while the file is immediately world readable after upload, just secret.
To get wordpress to populate the post with links:
Edit post
“add media”
(upload files via “upload files” pane)
choose “media files” pane, if necessary
select all files
click “insert into post” at bottom.
I see, thanks. It looks like that works—I see PDF links in both posts now.

So, I just opened up the WP blog and did Scholar searches for 3 or 4 of the lipreading PDFs. Not a single hit.
We’ll see in a month.
