hi,
Hope this does not sound like a stupid question, but this line got me worried
"If you make a change, say add or delete information from the sitemap, you need to do the following:"
Does this mean the site map does not add automatically new content ?
So if i make a new page I have to redo the sitemap ? or add a few lines to the xml file.
I thought most sitemaps were kinda dynamic ?
sorry if this is silly question 
cheers
well maybe its not a silly question, cos it certainly is taking a lot of thinking time.
Anybody know ?
Cheers
Hello,
I plan on catching up to questions and comments tomorrow but to answer your question, the sitemap is NOT dynamic. You will need to edit the sitemap.xml file yourself or rerun the generator. Nice suggestion, but in order for this to be dymanic, it would have to be tied into the sites update process – not possible for all sites (so many CMS out there).
Hope that helps!
Best regards,
Jim.
Hi Jim,
Thanks thats great info. I wonder if you would be so kind to answer another couple of questions for me. If I make a new page, I should just manually add it to the sitemap xml or make a new sitemap, do I then resubmit the site map to google everytime ? or just upload the new sitemap and google will spot new pages in xml on its next scan ?
Also I anticipate the only changes to happen in the blog section of my site, so could I make a sitemap for the html pages that wont change, and have it in my root folder, then make another sitemap in the blog folder using wordpress sitemap plug-in that will dynamically add new content. i.e. have 2 sitemaps ?
What do you think ?
Many many thanks,
tom
