How do I check my blogs google pagerank?

[Maui Wowies]

First how do I tell if my site is even in google's database. Someone showed me how to, you enter a code in googles search box to search direclty for your site but I dont remember how I did it.Second. After I determine my site is in fact in google, how do I check its pagerank and how fast it will show up for searches?Thanks everyone
