My site's robots.txt was blocking everyone for a year (The "Discourage search engines from indexing this site" option was checked in WordPress).

I guess Google will re-try to crawl it in the upcoming days (there is at least one site linking to it right now)? Or should I re-submit the site to Google?
Here is what I had (and just removed today) in my robots.txt:

User-agent: *
Disallow: /

Thanks in advance.

Google will fetch your updated robots.txt within the next few days and update their crawlers accordingly. Keep in mind this doesn't mean they will start crawling your site immediately and doesn't mean your pages will be indexed soon or rank well. It just means will know your pages are available for crawling but that is the first step to getting your pages into their index.
