  Please help! I’m no techie:)
  When I search for my site on Google this message comes up: “A description for this result is not available because of this site’s robots.txt – learn more.”
  The learn more link says I must remove the file but I don’t know where to look or even why it’s there?

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

  On the Settings->General page of the dashboard, have you opted to have the blog found and indexed by search engines or not?

  Hi janinefinnemore,

  It looks like your site is properly set up to be indexed by search engines. To help Google out, you can use the Webmaster tools:
