Problem seems to be cleared up

It appears that my issue with blogsearch has been fixed as well.

Thanks to Pablo and anyone else who assisted.

I get your latest post as the top result for the query [accidental husband]. What query are you trying?

Is there any way to find out if the problem is with my theme or code
or whatever? If I knew if it was the code, or the theme, or something
with Google, I could at least do further investigation on my own. Is
there anything I can do to figure out what the problem is?

Thanks.

Your blog is getting indexed, I see no problems with your blog for it not to be indexed. You can check if your blog is getting indexed using the query "blogurl:<your blog url>".

As far as your blog not showing up for some queries or getting indexed after 3 days goes, we try to index blogs as quickly as we can and try to rank them for queries fairly. But we can't tell you the criteria we use to do either of those.

Yes, I see that my blog is being indexed, but not by date. Only if you
actually search for my URL. I'm not asking you your criteria, but
there's something that causes my blog to not show up for 3 days in
search results where other blogs regularly show up within minutes. My
stats have fallen by over 90% since I'm no longer indexed.

Could it have anything to do with wordpress.com? I've noticed that not
many wp hosted blogs show up in results. Is this a problem that will
follow me to a self hosted blog?

(And I don't know why my responses are being sent by email 2 or 3
times - I'm not hitting any keys twice or hitting the back button).
