Hello Adam

Thank you for your valuable insight and yes I do hear what you are
saying

You are obviously saying that this removal from the Google index is
all to do with site theming or the lack thereof. At least I now know
the reason and can try and do something about it so I thank you for
that.

Although I am not going to try and defend it, the idea was to create a
sort of mini information site on a range of subjects but this has
obviously not worked. Although this is my site and always has been,
the subjects on there are not all down to me as I have two other
people that research and write articles for some of the subjects on
the site. That is the reason that each subject or minisite is
contained in it's own sub directory.

I guess the only way out of this is to remove the minisites from this
domain and 301 them somewhere else.
