I don’t know quite why, but Google appear to have blacklisted this site. Not coming up on any of the regular searches. I had thought that the drop was due to the problems with comment spam, since it was visible until I found time to despam with MT, but since now WordPress tends to quarantine most comments until I can get around to despamming, that problem should have been minimised.
Any other ideas on what might be going on? Not a massive fan of my Debian Installer bug reports being higher up on a search for my name than this blog! 😉

If I were you, I’d change that div that says ‘Meriblog: Meri Williams’ Weblog’ into an h1 and promote your h3 headings to h2 (and, naturally, style your CSS appropriately). Google boosts relevance to words that are part of hierarchichal headings.
A quick scout around Google’s caches seems to suggest that your site is being indexed — so I’d concentrate on looking at ways in which you can boost your rankings through page content and composition.
