Website Health Alerts

I just went to webmaster tools and saw that all of a sudden my site has severe health issues? And when I clicked on "check site health" it says an important page is being bloked by the robot txt. When I clicked on the link it took me here http://www.familypicturesphotography.com/hack/feed.mg?Type=nickname&Data=familypicturesphotography&format=atom10

This page seems to be only accessible on the Google browser. Any insight please:)

That's nothing to worry about. We intentionally don't allow feeds to be indexed to not clutter up search results. It's been like that for a very long time. The message on Google webmasters should disappear on its own eventually.

Ok, so I'm a little confused though Smugmug help suggests using feeds, so if they are blocked from being indexed, then what is their purpose and how do people see them?? I have RSS and Atom on my site. When I click on them it shows my photosscratchJust curious:)

Feeds are a convenient way for some folks to keep up on your latest photos. Also used with external devices, like e-frames and such.

After almost 3 weeks and 3 seperate notification by Google Webmaster Tools I am still being told that my website is still showing Severe crawler issues. 2 things

1. As long as the feeds are listed, won't Google keep informing me of these issues, hence, they will never go away?

2. Here is a screen shot of my Google Webmaster keywords page and feeds is the #1 keyword everyday. I would rather have the keywords that are able to be CRAWLED up there instead, is there a fix for this?

Google is just telling you that we block feeds from being indexed. You can safely ignore this.
