   Google XML Sitemaps Generator.

   You can also use your Google webmaster account to request that your old urls are removed from the index.

   Is it cocooconnor.com?

   If so, you've set all-in-one-seo as follows (for your 'archives' pages):
   <meta name="robots" content="noindex,follow" />

   So you *may* want to change that as you're telling search engines not to index a big portion of your site.

   I think going to Admin > Settings > All in One SEO, then unticking the "Use noindex for Archives" (might want to do categories too perhaps) option should remove that tag for you. Although it looks like you've changed a setting slightly since I last looked (either that or my memory is quite likely just poor!).

   Other than that, I can't see any reason your not getting ranked properly. You could sign up for a Google Webmaster Tools account to see if they're having any problems accessing your site.
