      Hi,

      I edited the robots.txt file for my website http://debtfreefrombankruptcy.com yesterday to allow search engines to crawl my site. However, Google isn't recognizing the new file and is still saying that my sitemap is blocked from search. Here is a link to the file itself:

      http://www.debtfreefrombankruptcy.com/robots.txt

      The Blocked URLs tester said that the file allows Google to crawl the site, but in actuality it still isn't recognizing the new file. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
