  Hi all,

  I have a question about a self hosted wordpress site. The site is http://www.shamingthedog.com I have deleted about 50 posts, but they are always being crawled by google and bing. I even deleted and installed a new sitemap generator, made a new sitemap, and submitted them to google and bing. To no avail. I also emptied the trash where the deleted posts went. I don’t want to have to submit each and every page to google and bing for removal, besides, I can’t as they no longer exist and I do not know what their urls were.

  Thanks all.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  The error will go away somewhere between 3 months and 2.25 years –

  I have a question about a self hosted wordpress site.

  Means:

  The site you are asking about does not seem to be hosted on WordPress.COM so you need to make friends over at WordPress.ORG the keepers of the software you are using.
