  Please I need Gurus in the house to help me!

  I got this message from Google about my blog. I even
  noticed that I’m not getting local traffic again. I asked for advice
  Here is the message and I don’t know how to go about solving it:

  http://www.singbravo.com/: Googlebot can’t access your site

  Over the last 24 hours, Googlebot encountered 1 errors while
  attempting to connect to your site. Your site’s overall connection
  failure rate is 100.0%.

  You can see more details about these errors in Webmaster Tools.

  Recommended action

  Verify that the web service software for your site is installed and
  running properly.
  Verify that your firewall or server are not blocking googlebot’s
  access to your site.
  Verify that all scripts that run on your site have proper permissions to run.
  Verify that your site has proper permissions to access the pages of your site.
  Using Webmaster Tools, find a day with a high error rate and examine
  the logs for your web server for that day. Look for errors in the logs
  for that day and fix the causes of those errors.
  Your site may be overloaded. Talk with your hosting provider about
  either reconfiguring your web server or allocating more resources to
  your web server.
  If your site redirects to another hostname, another possible
  explanation is that a URL on your site is redirecting to a hostname
  that has one or more of the problems listed above.

  After you think you’ve fixed the problem, use Fetch as Google to
  verify that Googlebot can properly access your site.

  Please what you can do to help me on this.
  Thanks

  I’m having a similar issue. My issue stems from my hosting company. They are experiencing many unhappy customers right now from what I see on their Facebook page. Perhaps you use Network Solutions too for hosting?

  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.
