   My site is brand new and can be found here.
   Privacy settings: allow to all to crawl my site.
   SEO Plugin used: Yoast SEO plugin
   Sitemap: XML Sitemap Genarator
   Robots.txt: on the fly, no physical file on the server.
   Site was live but blocked from being indexed by the search engines until yesterday. Turned it ON but Google Webmaster Tools still say that sitemap.xml is restricted by the robots.txt
   Can anyone help me to find out if my site is actually blocked from the search engines or not?

   Seems that nobody knows what's going on...well, let me keep you up to date: Google has decided to accept the sitemap.xml (all of a sudden they can get access to it), but two links to my articles are shown as "restricted by robots.txt".
   What concerns me is that the site root, http://noiromani.co.uk seems to not be blocked (??!!) by robots.txt
