When I search "site:wallstreetchalkboard.com" google only produces a list of posts from January. Is there a reason for this? Does it just take time to add more of my posts to the search engine?

Check out Google sitemaster tools and make sure all of your pages are being indexed. Also, add a plugin like Google XML sitemaps to make sure Google knows each time you post.

That doesn't seem right. Google is adding my articles within hours of posting them.
Have you done anything different (like blocking robots somehow) starting in February?

It is kind of a tempermental plug-in to install. Make sure you get a successful first run sitemap generation and go into the setting to make sure you are pinging Google and other search engines.
Did you look at sitemaster tools and see if everything was being indexed?

I think I figured out the problem. Currently my hosting service is godaddy, and I had updated to wordpress 3.1, but I had not updated the wordpress application on go daddy, as well. Sounds confusing, and it very much is. Currently I'm updating everything, so my website looks really funky right now. Once the updating is finished I think all the problems will be fixed.

Not sure what its doing. Go Daddy says that it is "pending patch." Pretty sure this is just part of the process of updating the sync between my go daddy and wordpress account….Wallstreetchalkboard.com is currently OUT OF ORDER.

yes – do let us know if that worked.
one of the biggest challenges with sites is that if search engines are not proactively informed of new content, they take their sweet time, sometimes to the tune of monhts. the bigger your site, the more challenging it becomes in the long run.
the best way to resolve this is by either updating your sitemap manually each time you add content (URLs), or implement an automated solution which is very difficult to find in my opinion (at least a reliable and fully functioning one)
i am actually in the process of writing a post about this very same topic and what has worked for me over the years in all my websites. look out for a post on sitemaps and search engine submissions.

since the go daddy suport center was no help at all. Can anyone explain how to fix a "sync error" that occured with the sitemap? Or can you explain what this means?
