[...] I have installed a couple new plugins. The first is a Google Sitemaps plugin by Arne Brachhold, which is very uninteresting to the typical reader but valuable to Google. You can see the sitemap results if you are interested. The idea is to provide some additional context around Google’s indexing of the site. Additionally, I suppose the result could be transformed into something useful for a typical web user. We’ll have to see how that shakes out. [...]

Hi Erich, the generated file is a sitemap file in the Google Sitemap Format. FeedValidator checks for feeds such as rss 2 or atom so it can't validate the sitemap file.

I just downloaded this plugin, set it up, made a post, then checked the xml file with FeedValidator.org and it said it was invalid!

Is this the case?

Below you will find the corresponding results…

Sorry, This feed does not validate.

Arne: I may've located a bug in sitemap.php. At least I know it's causing a server error msg. every time I try to publish a post to WP from my blog publishing software, ecto. Could you take a look at this thread & see if there's anything you think in line 355 of sitemap.php which may be causing the conflict. I downloaded the plugin about 3 wks. ago. I notice you've upgraded a few times since then. If I upgrade might this make a difference? If so, is the download link above for the latest version?

Thank you for this great tool.
HINT for Google:
As they say themself in the instructions for the sitemap.xml
-> First you have to update manually in your Google Sitemap Acount !!!
Once they finish indexing every site of your web you can activate the
AUTOMATIC PING OPTION
-> If you do this before, there will be a problem that other users of EP 1.5 were reporting.
Example: if you have already a 100 sites it will need time to generate and send the xml-file…
So it is better to de-select the auto ping to google, first.
Later if you see that google indexed your site…
give it a try…
Once again thank you.

[...] I just added the Google sitemap generator plugin to my list of snazzy stuff included in my WordPress installation. Talk about super easy to setup. It worked like a charm and I’m up and rolling. [...]
