my problem can be seen here

http://www.google.com/search?q=site:michaele-harrington.com

I am getting HTTP ERROR 400 instead of title of my page.
Seems this is also happening with a few of my blog pages. When I use google webmaster rich snippets tool I'm also getting an error for the blog title.

Seems there could be something up with my robots.txt...

I found these errors by accident while using google webmasters rich snippets tool trying to verify google authorship markup. I'm getting errors for that as well, even though I have entered rel="author" and rel="me" in the correct places!

Looking at the cached version of your page it seems the cause is a temporary unavailability of your server that was unable to return a request back to Google.

I performed a couple of tests using different HTTP methods (such as HEAD) or different paths and the server seems to work now.

I believe it was a temporary issue.

@Simone,

I appreciate you looking into this for me. I'm still getting the same HTTP 400 error in the rich snippets tool. I'm also still not getting authorship markup verification for same (homepage). It's been a week now. Any further suggestion would be appreciated :)
