First of all, how old is your blog? How well-ranked is it? You said it was
new and grace is given to new Web sites.
Secondly, if it only disappeared last night, you may be too quick to
speculate and be tempted to paranoia. I can assure you that Google will not
cull out and omit blogs, some of which have better content than
hierarchical sites.
What files do you host on your personal site? Graphics? A mirror? Importing
text content from you site? Using Blogger for SEO?
How many other blogs have you checked to reach the conclusion found in the
subject line?
Overall, it sounds to me like a temporary problem. Give it a few days, go
out, have a nice time and if time does not do the trick, then start looking
ahead at a solution.
