   Happy Holidays to all!

   After a year of good crawling with no apparent issues,
   I decided I needed to get away from my blog for awhile
   and turned it all off as best I could without deleting it
   entirely.

   I set my public visibility to private and blocked search
   engines from indexing my site -- amongst other things.

   I've spent the last day attempting to get it all back up
   online, with public visibility and bot crawling.

   But Google says: "Googlebot is blocked from http://thedirtylowdown.wordpress.com/" and
   the current robots.txt file shows nothing but
   "Disallow" all the way down the page through
   like 12 line items: disallow everything.

   How can I fix this? Thanks.

   The blog I need help with is thedirtylowdown.wordpress.com.

   Hey, this is what Google says:
   _______________________________

   Googlebot is blocked from http://thedirtylowdown.wordpress.com/

   Blocked by line 3: Disallow: /
   Detected as a directory; specific files may have different restrictions
