The file robots.txt on the site http://gottagetsomemetime.vstore.ca/
disallows all robots from the entrie site.

You used:

User-agent: *
Disallow: /

This means disallow all robtos from entire site.

What you want to have is this:

User-agent: *
Disallow:

This means disallow nothing. Which means allow everything.

Yoo do not edit the robots.txt fiel inside Google Webmaster Tools.

That file is on your server, on your website, in the root folder.

You downlaod it, edit it in Notepad and re-uplaod it.

No, you have to upload to your website.

How did you build your website?

It's as I said because the robots.txt file you have is blocking
everything.

Either just delete that file from your  website or upload the
corrected one as I said.

If you do not fix the robtos.txt file that website will forever be
ignored by search engines. I am serious.

Your choice if you want to try to learn or not. I cannot fix it for
you.

Hi Ree! Welcome to our group.

> This is why I am asking ..... I don't know how to fix it

We do not know how you created your website
so it is dificult to provide any specific instructions!

There are many ways one may create a site.
You can create text files by hand and upload them
to a server that hosts your domain,
You can use tools to create your site locally on your
PC and then upload that to your hosting server.
You can do it all online and use a service to create
your website.

We have no Idea what you use so it is impossible
for us to assist you unless you let us know how
you are creating this site and what capabilities
regarding uploads and what actual page editing
capabilities you have.

We can't tell you how to update pages or files in your
webspace as that varies greatly dependent on the service
and implementation choices by you and your provider.

I understand you can be frustrated, but take your time
research and learn. Ask questions from your hosting
provider. Ask them how you can edit the robots.txt file.

Do take webado's advice as an urgent request. Correct
the robots.txt. This file currently contains instructions
that tell all search engines to totally ignore your site!

The one you have in place may be the default set
by your provider. Check with them on how to fix it.

You have to answer the questions we asked you:

What did you use to build your website? How did you build the website?
Do you have access to some kind of control panel, some file manager,
for your website?

All you ned to do is delete the file robps.txt from your site.

You need top get to a place where you see all your files and find that
one and delete it.

Ask yor hoster for guidance how to do that.
