Google says my sitemap appears to be HTML and it's not a supported format.
Sitemap creates both an XML and an HTML format file.
- The HTML file is human readable. The url to this one is set by where the sitemap page is in your RW file and what your filename/foldername are set in the page inspector.
- The xml file is machine readable and is used by services like google to index your site automatically.
When you tell google to index you site you need to tell it the name of the xml file, not the html one. The xml file is stored at the root directory of your site and has the name sitemap.xml. For instance the one for loghound.com is at http://loghound.com/sitemap.xml and that is what we tell google to index.
If you get this message your probably pointed google at the
wrong one.
hint
You can verify you have a sitemap.xml by typing in http://[yourdomain]/sitemap.xml
replacing [yourdomain]. you should see a bunch of funny looking
text with urls to your site (compare it to http://loghound.com/sitemap.xml
to see the correct format)
