About 3 months ago my site dropped from the top spot to not even in the top 10 pages on google.
Now, my questions is, If my server was up, because it was, how could this happen. Was I banned? Keep in mind the site hadn't been changed in months and was a basic web design site/portfolio.
Right now, I've gained position to around the middle of the 2nd page for Blue Web Design (PR4). But having problems getting back to number 1, or even on the 1st page of results.
I've taken quite a hit because of this.

Google isn't static, rankings change alot, many reasons for this:
New pages added daily, new algos, new filters, new ranking criteria, it's all in a flow and never stays the same for long.
As you see from your ranking, PR isn't the key.
The best thing you can do atm is trying to get external links to your site, for best results from pages with the same subject. There are alot of business directories and stuff like this, look around a little, many will link to you without reciprocal. And try updating it more often, no need to change much, just make sure the filesize and date of the html file are different. More updates --> more freshbots visits --> a little ranking boost
