Help! Robots.txt file blocking Google Bot?

My wordpress blog was listed on the first page for a certain keyword. I went to check and it was completely gone. I went into Webmaster tools and found this:

No pages from your site are currently included in Google's index. Indexing can take time. You may find it helpful to review our information for webmasters and webmaster guidelines.
Loading...

We can't currently access your home page because of a robots.txt restriction.

What happened? How can I fix this? My site went from in the top 10 to completely off the index! I'm using a free wordpress.com blog. Is there something I did wrong?

 

blank out the robots.txt file

 

Do you know how I would do this in the wordpress blog options?

This is what my robots.txt looks like right now, no idea how it changed.

User-agent: *
Disallow: /

 

How do I change the file on wordpress? It does not have an options place for the robots.txt file.

 

Do you have your blog hosted on your own server?

 

No, its a free wordpress.com blog.

 

did you change themes lately? can you access the header.php file from the dashboard>presentation>theme editor menu?

 

Didn't change any themes, I can get to the Custom Header page if thats what you mean?

 

"Custom Header page"... not exactly what I meant. I don't believe you can access the theme files on the free version so disregard what I said.

 

I will suggest you to delete the robots.txt file if it is causing probs .. make sure if u dnt have a blog directory !!

 

If you don't want to block bots, then there really is no need for robots.txt in your case.

 

The problem is there is no place where I can see, edit, or delete the robots.txt.

 

Then you are out of luck then.
