    Smile robots.txt file

    I've noticed in my Stats, that I keep getting an error msg because of a file called robots.txt
    So I created one in notepad, and placed in the root file of my web page.
    My question is: What should be in this file. Right now, it's blank.

    Also, if you've looked at this site before, you may see some major changes.

    The robots look for robots.txt to find if you've set any "rules" for what they can and cannot access on your server. In most instances, you don't really need to worry about any of this, but you can read more here:
