Just think where your site would be now if you had known this since the beginning.

No spiders visited my site and found this setting and everything went well after that!

Good reminder for those who may not know. Personally the only WordPress install I have chose that option for is my local dev blog.

Hahah, I actually did this with my first wordpress blog myself and found out the exact same way you did, with google tools.

Thanks for reminding me how dumb I once was.

Yes, I realize some people may prefer to block search engines for various reasons. This reminder was for people like me who may have accidentally blocked them, and then forgot about it.

@Pangeran: Yep, you really can’t forget about other big search engines like Yahoo and Live. I used Google Webmaster Tools as an example since they seem to have a good “reporting” feature if there’s something wrong with your site.

@kelly: Nice article, but there seems to be a problem with your site. There are a few PHP warning errors at the top.

Thanks for the comments everyone.
