Permalink the permanent link to a post or categories in a blog

Wednesday, March 1st, 2006

Permalink are the permanent link to a post or categories in a blog. Let me explain this with an example in this blog. Google Sitemap post permalink is http://blogmines.com/blog/2006/03/01/google-sitemap/. When we want to refer to a post it is always better to have a more meaning full link than having a question mark and a number. For Wordpress blogs this needs to be configured under the option section. And you will recieve a waring message when the options are changed in Permalink section. so make sure the permalink’s required plugin has been configured. Tags: , ,

Google Sitemap - unsupported file format error

Wednesday, March 1st, 2006

Atlast the sitemap for this blog has been accepted by google. For the past two weeks I had been trying to register sitemap for this blog but I was getting unsupported file format error.The reason for that is sitemap has to placed under the root directory. Though my blog is under the directory /blog I had to place the sitemap under the root directory. The error message was bit confusing.though.

For wordpress there are plugins available to generate the sitemap for the blog. The popular one is Arne’s Google Sitemap Generartor .
