  Hi there,

  Your site jrwpix.com is loading correctly on my side in all browsers. Can you let me know if you’re still having trouble? If so, can you provide me with a few details regarding your browser and operating system setup?

  its “hidden” from search engine spiders because your robots.txt file is disallowing all spider traffic
  so you can go to the site- but search engines are not finding it for new usrs

  Hi there,

  It looks like you recently changed your blog privacy settings from “Discourage search engines from indexing this site” to “Allow search engines to index this site” on your Reading settings here:

  https://jrwpix.wordpress.com/wp-admin/options-reading.php

  As a result, it will take search engines a few days to re-index your site with the new settings. This message should disappear at that time.

  Let me know if you have any additional questions!
