Hi Kieth and hwg;

I found this in the page you suggested.

<META name="robots" content="ALL">

I thought it was supposed to be set up this way.

<META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="index,follow">

The robots meta tell the search engine spiders what it should do in regard 
to the page. Aren't two entries needed? The first to tell the spider to 
index a page or not. The second to tell the spider to follow the links in 
the page or not. The entries can be index and noindex or follow and nofollow.

A quick question too, are meta tags case sensitive? Does it matter that 
your tag is lower case and mine is upper? If I'm wrong here I'd appreciate 
some help :)
