I have a few wp based sites. Two of them, renewableindia.com and tamilnadurecipes.com are not beig indexed by google. I have them set up the same way as my other sites, with valid sitemaps, htaccess and robots.txt. Could it be that my themes are preventing the sites from being indexed?
BTW, google is crawling the sites regularly and Webmaster Tools says tha they are indexed, but site:tamilnadureciped.com shows no indexed pages.
Appreciate and help. Thanks.
How long have they been up and running?

Thanks for replying!
They've been up for about 3 months but I haven't posted anything in a month because I wanted to get the problem sorted out. Do you think it could be a theme problem? Im using wp-blue for renewableindia.com and it's a pretty popular theme.
Again, thanks for helping.

Actually, now that I think of it, tamilnadurecipes has been up since January. Its my mother's site and I've been helping her with it. She has posted about 7 - 10 posts.

That site is extremely slow to load. Search engines don't wait around so if a site loads slowly they tend to just move on.
It also has a robots meta tag in the header:
<meta name='robots' content='noindex,nofollow' />
Did you just put that up or did you forget to allow indexing in your WordPress settings?
Page load time could be speeded up by reducing the number of images that display on your home page, or compressing the images or making them smaller.
Hope this helps.

Elpie, Thanks a lot for pointing that out. I looked in settings > privacy and found that for both the sites wordpress was blocking search engines. I had no idea this was the default setting (must be a new addition for wp-2.7).
I will look towards reducing page load time as well.
I really appreciate your clever insight. Thanks!
