Hello World

Providing a Google sitemap.xml with the Google Sitemap Generator for Pebble 2.x.

After a few days online: Google's webmaster tools show 'Site not indexed.'

This blog definitely needs a Site map. Google says: in About Sitemaps (Note: Website has been taken offline): "Google adheres to Sitemap Protocol 0.9 as defined by sitemaps.org."

Thanks to Brendon Matheson I found an easy way to provide a Google Sitemap for this Pebble powered blog.

The Project is named Pebble Addons and has a short manual (Note: Website has been taken offline) with all information I needed.

So far so good work.

But time has changed since the year 2006. The default would produce:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<urlset xmlns="http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap/0.84">

Maybe this fit's in a little better:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">

No harm was done, the quick glance into the samples - the servlet is as easily configured as:

<init-param>
  <param-name>schemaUrl</param-name>
  <param-value>http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9</param-value>
</init-param>

Now we've got 14 URLs submitted:
