Re: how do i create a sitemap for google?

Did you enter your URL in the top window...then click "Start Crawler" ??
I just made on for a small site that has 10 pages and it took less than 30 seconds.
The sitemap generator will not be able to see javascript menus or pages that have uppercase letters.

Hi Carbon Terry
Ok you say the sitemap generator will not be able to see javascript menus or pages that have uppercase letters. it that included my index page with all uppercase letter on that page? and my URL is my domain name right?

He means uppercase letters in the names of the pages.
For example: mydomain.com/ThisPageName.html

Right Karen. Uppercase in the page name(s).

Re: how do i create a sitemap for google? I can't!

I have done site maps ok for other sites using the BV tool but having problems with www.jacklovelock.com I have no upper case pages but do not get results.

I enter the url in the Website URL box, click on Start Crawler and get nothing listed.

Any ideas out there?

Works for me. I entered your URL and links were there.

Re: how do i create a sitemap for google?

Hmmmm, that is odd indeed. Must be a setting or something in my BlueVoda. If you can get it why cant I. And why can I get it for other sites. Ah...could be the ftp publish setting..will check.

Nope. I just checked publish setting - which shouldnt matter anyway and it is set to the lovelock folder on server.

Argh - Sitemap doesnt work now for any sites. Firewall? Will check, reboot and try again.

Any ideas? Thanks

Re: how do i create a sitemap for google?

I don't think that it has to do with ftp settings as I could make a sitemap from my computer for your website. Did you enter the full URL ?

Re: how do i create a sitemap for google?

I closed BV, rebooted PC and would you believe it the sitemap worked. Odd.

Thanks for your helpful comments...

Re: how do i create a sitemap for google?

I followed the instructions as in tutorial and nothing. I do not have any uppercase in my pages. Have patience please - I'm an oap! Thanks.

Patsy,

How about an URL ??

[patsy121105]

Re: how do i create a sitemap for google?

What exactly does that mean, please? Where?
In page properties I have named my first page - index.bvp - and other pages in this way, all lower case.
In my navigation bar I have named my first page www.waterlandspark.com/index.html
and the following pages with the same names as in page properties, again all in lower case.
I have underscored where I need to place two words in naming.
To start the crawler I put http://www.waterlandspark.com in the box at the top.
When I type in my site in 'bbc.co.uk' search engine, it says something about 'cgi-bin/' and then some other gobbledegook about 'voda28.com port'. - so I think I have published correctly (and I only published my index page as in tutorial).
So what am I doing wrong, please?
