Google Webmaster says URL's are blocked
-
Google Webmaster sitemap info says that all our URL’s are blocked by robots text. Our blog is public. I have searched the forum and see that this has been an issue with others but it is supposedly fixed now. We have tried re-submitting the sitemap and updating content but it’s still producing the errors for the sitemap.

Hey there,
It looks like your robots.txt file isn’t disallowing anything out of the ordinary:
http://thegiddygoat.wordpress.com/robots.txtIs it possible that the blog’s Privacy settings have been updated recently, and Google has simply not observed the change yet?
Best,

Thanks for replying. Yes we recently switched from private to public a few times while sorting things out, before deciding to stay as ‘public’. We thought Webmaster only ran about 2 days behind, but that’s obviously not the case. However the sitemap is no free of errors so i guess that was the cause of problem. Cheers :)
