That's very exciting, everyone! Frugal Portland got up to a 3, which makes me happy! Although, I'll be perfectly honest, I don't have a CLUE what that means, only that the higher the number, the… better? The more others take you seriously?
I am not sure what happened but my Page Rank is now N/A!? Anyone have any thoughts? Jeremy at Modest Money has been trouble shooting it with me but we still can't figure it out. The only thing I can think of is that I moved to a Self-Hosted Wordpress recently and I just realized my Sitemap got jacked up. I am working on getting that fixed but does anybody have any other ideas? Any help would be appreciated.

Deacon – have you checked your robots.txt to make sure search engines are allowed? I did a redesign on Genesis recently and the settings defaulted to no index for the client's homepage, causing their PR to change to N/A. Once I caught it, they got PR back in a few days.
Edited to add: The sitemap could definitely be the problem. Once you've fixed it, give Google a week or so to index and see if that fixes the issue.

Holy Cow! You might have figured it out. Here are my "robot" options:
All of the following are checked: Apply noindex to category, tag, author, date, and search archives.
I am thinking I should un-check Category and Tag, does that sound right?
My GooglePage rank is at 3, it's been stuck there for a while now, but my Alexa plummeted from 800 K to 8 million :(. I have no idea why as the blog has daily content updates.

I don't think Alexa goes off of how often you update your content. My understanding is that it shows your site's popularity based on the number of visits/pageviews you get from users of the Alexa toolbar.
Do you have the Alexa toolbar installed? If not, that itself can make a huge difference when you visit your own site.
