  Hello, my site was in the top 10, like number 6 or something, for a certain keyword. Now Google says robots.txt is preventing it from accessing my blog. My options are set to allow search engines to find my blog. Is there any way I can get a default robots.txt?

  I notice my other blog shows the same robots.txt file. What happened :(

  What are the blogs in question? Easier for us to answer if we have direct links to them, starting with http.

  Here are a couple of threads I found on the issue:
