    Yes, your site is blocked. Your robots.txt should read:
    User-agent: *
    Allow:

    You'll need to upload a new robots.txt

    Allow all robots

    To allow any robot to access your entire site, you can simply leave the robots.txt file blank, or you could use this:

    User-agent: *
    Disallow:

    I dont think it means blocked :S
