    Ok, be forewarned you are dealing with a complete newbie here. I was looking at my code from a post on my blog trying to figure out how to put a "to read more..." command in so I could shorten my posts on the home page.(still need help with that) and saw <meta name='robots' content='noindex,nofollow' />
    in the code. Does that mean that google or whoever is not going to index my site, post or what? If so how do I change it to index and rank the heck out of the site?

    I've been reading different threads while I wait for an answer and now I'm really confused. The blog I'm talking about is actually new but classified as being in August's archive. Does that mean that wp automatically puts a nofollow on it to prevent google from picking up duplicate info and hurting you pr? (just what I read). And I also read that the noindex, nofollow tag from above has something to do with incoming and out going links???

    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".

    Thanks, then that will this be the best for getting the site indexed and ranked?

    If you leave it noindex,nofollow, you won't get indexed or ranked because this command is telling the search engine crawler robots to stay away.

    I changed the privacy setting so I should be all set for indexing, right?
