How To Find Out If There Is A “robots.txt” File In Your New Website Created Using Small Business Office Live?

Help, I need to find out if the website I’m helping maintain is “crawlable” by “bots” and “spiders”. The website is apparently either invisible to all the search engines or just not “indexed” yet. I have already manually submitted it to DMOZ, Google, MSN, and Yahoo over the last week, no results yet. Unable to “verify” website with Google because I can’t add the HTML file the way Gogole wants it added, and I can add the Metatag, but can’t add it to the specific location that Google wants. MSN offers to check if your “robots.txt” file is functional, but I don’t know how to find out if I even have a robots.txt file much less locate it to copy it. If you know how to do any of the above, please share, I know I’m not the only frustrated website newbie who’s having trouble getting a website viewed by the search engines. If you need to check out my website, it ends with dot com, begins with three w’s and inbetween the w’s and the dot com is “accidentawardslasvegas”.

    I think this would normally be in the www directory. The main directory where you put your index.html page.
    Use FTP or file manager to look on your site.
    Hope this helps
