    Sitemap question

    I wish to add a Site map page to my website. I am presently creating my website and it is not yet published.
    Do I have to publish to create a Site map ? If so, how will I link the Site map to the "Site map" button on my website ?

      Hi,

      Thank you for the precious information about sitemap generators.

      I did what you explain in the thread, at least I think I did, but when I click on the sitemap link (in the Index page) I get the html code of the sitemap.

      What did I do wrong ?

        Actually.. you dont put a LINK to it like that. You did it right, and the xml code wont look right to you but to link it properly, unless you saved in html for an html page for the viewers/visitors it wont help either. If you save it as xml put the link in your the head section of your index page as follows

        <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="sitemap" href="sitemap.xml" />

        If you saved it as html you can just paste it in a voda page in an html box and name the page sitemap. You could also paste it into notepad and save it as sitemap.html.

        xml maps are best linked as above in between the head tags.

            Set your browser to your language settings and then it wont be un readable.
