Not Being Indexed by Google…

    Since my transfer from Blogger to WordPress two weeks ago, I’ve noticed that Google has simply stopped indexing my new posts. I also found that, until yesterday, my robots.txt file had been BLOCKING Google from my site (even though I didn’t HAVE a robots.txt file). I uploaded one yesterday that allows all (which Webmaster Tools recognizes), but I remain un-indexed. Can anyone possibly take a look and tell me if there’s something else I need to do/anything corrupt in my header?

    Thanks so much!

    The site is http://www.muumuse.com

    This is keeping Google away:

    <meta name='robots' content='noindex,nofollow' />

    Go to Dashboard -> Settings -> Privacy and select “I would like my blog to be visible to everyone, including search engines (like Google, Sphere, Technorati) and archivers”

    I did this a few hours prior to Webmaster Tools re-caching my site (it checked the robots.txt file 30 minutes ago), and it’s still showing each URL of my website in the “restricted by robots.txt” section. I’ve had a robots.txt that says “ALLOW” for the past two days.

    Any help on this? I’ve heard horror stories about waiting for 3-6 months for a site to re-index.

    Nevermind–it’s working. Yay!
