All,

The second link in my signature All About Business is one of a Blog of mine running on Word Press Theme HemingwayEx and am currently facing the problem of No Flow , No index in robots.txt.

I have tried a lot of things changing themes, listing them on Technorati ,building up sitemap's , doing blog and dire ctory submissions but nothing seems to work. I've looked up for that tag in Header.php and indexpage.php and template.php but i'm unable to find it and correct.

Can any Bogging Guide/Design Guide/Development Guide help me in correcting it. I need HELP

I don't really understand what you're asking, but I'll assume you're trying to get your site unindexed.

It doesn't seem that you have a robots.txt uploaded - atleast not in the root directory.

Also, you must have meant nofollow, rather than noflow. And you don't use nofollow or noindex in robots.txt. You use them in meta tags, as it seem that you did.

What you have should work:
Code:
<meta name='robots' content='noindex,nofollow' />
But I suggest that you change the quotation marks that you use to make it uniform with the rest of the site, like:
Code:
<meta name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow" />
You should also move it up by you other meta tag (right below your title), but with that said.. what you have right now should work.

How long ago did you add that meta tag? Could take weeks, or even months to take effect.
 
Thanks Kurt,

My Bro was typing and as i see he made a lot of mistakes.

Anyways, Let me make tell you >>>> I'm trying to get my site indexed and thatz not happening.

1. I have put in my siggy
2. I have done Directory submissions
3. I have done plenty of Link building from the high PR sites.
4. Its a Blog with WP Theme HemingwayEx installed on it so this is not like other sites where i can manually alter any thing like below.
<meta name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow" />
Infact it is like this way and i wanna get rid off it to get my site indexed and doesnot carry nofollow and noindex . I have checked the Header.php and i didnot find anything like this neither did i find this is in any other .php file of the WP theme. Please suggest me what do i do to get my site indexed.
5. One more thing i have tried building sitemap for this site too but i beleive since its a blog and running on WP theme that didn't work.

OR go to Options -> Privacy and tick the option that allows everyone to view your blog...chances are this on is ticked "I would like to block search engines, but allow normal visitors"

If that isn't it you could also -
Or login to WP admin and go to presentation -> theme editor and select the header.php file and delete that out of there click update file or what ever it says.
 
Connect to your FTP server, navigate to wp-content/themes/yourthemename. Open header.php, find the line, delete it, save the file, upload and overwrite header.php.

Here is what my Header.PHP Looks like......Please guide me as to what do i needd to delete to fix this problem.
