ror - site map - does it look right

[scottaforbes@gmail.com]

I have done a site map in accordance with the instructions in this forum but does it look right to you

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <!-- This file is a ROR Sitemap for describing this website to the search engines. For details about the ROR format, go to www.rorweb.com. -->f(clean);
- <rss version="2.0" xmlns:ror="http://rorweb.com/0.1/">

also I have to rename the file from ror to ror.xml to get the link to work - is this the right thing to do

Re: ror - site map - does it look right

Why don't you let ror build it automatically ? It's easy to make a mistake and crawlers hate mistakes in sitemap files

Re: ror - site map - does it look right

Most sitemapers have difficulties in following links in menubars and nav bars. The best thing is to create a sitemap with all text links like www.navaldesign.info/sitemap.html and also put a direct link from index page to the sitemap page. I found out that this way, i got the best results. Of course i also uploaded the sitemap.xml file on my site and also submitted it to Google.
