   hi all

   I have just launched a site that I have been building in wordpress and have been onto google webmaster tools to see how it is performing and got the following message Googlebot is blocked from http://www.emotionalfirstaid.co.uk/

   Text of http://www.emotionalfirstaid.co.uk/robots.txt
   

   User-agent: *
   Disallow: /

   is this a problem or is it something that the wordpress installation adds the the site?

   Thanks
   for your time

   i have just looked at my source online and it is as follows
   

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

   I have looked at the header file but it is not visible there?

   how do I change this to allow my site to be indexed?

   Thanks

   I think I have found a setting in privacy settings called Site Visibility it was set to
   

   I would like to block search engines, but allow normal visitors

   I have changed it to
   

   I would like my site to be visible to everyone, including search engines (like Google, Bing, Technorati) and archivers

   is this the correct thing to do?
