how to install a robots.txt for a wordpress blog ?

[pradeep.balua]

I wanted to add an robots.txt file to my wordpress blog http://balumusings.com/
Is it possible to write a robots.txt file to prevent search engines from indexing specific ,not all, posts in my blog and how it would look like ?

thank you
your help will be greatly appreciated

Yes it is possible and it would look something like this: User-agent: *
Disallow: /10/tips-to-popularise-your-blog/
Disallow: /date/2007/11/


or whatever you want. If you just simply put disallow: / it will keep it from indexing all pages. If you want specific pages you can put it like i did in the first disallow or if you want to keep the bots from accessing archive pages (or category pages) it would look something like the second disallow I put in the example.
