    Any thoughts on how to stop google from displaying the atom feeds?

    Based on google's comments on this page:
    http://www.google.com/webmasters/remove.html

    It looks like you can modify the robots.txt file to stop google from indexing specific directories/file types on a website. Is there already a robots.txt file on smugmug sites? Can it be edited? Is the feed information located only in the /hack directory? if so, is it possible to add to something like the following:

    User-agent: Googlebot
    Disallow: /hack

    or perhaps a more specific solution might be

    User-agent: Googlebot
    Disallow: /feed.mg$

    Any reason why google would suddenly start indexing smugmug feeds? The same thing just happened to my wife's site.
