Okay, a couple of things-
When adding the sitemap details to Google webmaster, you need to submit the following URL for your sitemap:
do not include 'http://www.queerrepublictees.com/' as Google will automatically prepend it.Code:googlesitemap.php?inline=yes
and you need to add the following to the bottom of your robots.txt file:
Code:Sitemap: http://www.queerrepublictees.com/sitemapindex.xml

DONE! Thanks! I will check the status a little later to see if that worked.
Interesting- I added the 'url' attribute to the xml headers and now Google Webmaster is issuing warnings left right and centre (I forgot the important lesson: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it"). It would appear that Google and Sitemap.org do not agree:
https://www.google.com/webmasters/to...emapValidation
versus
http://www.sitemaps.org/protocol.php#validating
I've had a site built for me using ZC 1.3.8 and now I have a question re Google Sitemaps. Sadly my developer is off on a long holiday otherwise I'd ask him.
I've registered with Google Webmaster which is crawling the site but says I don't have a Site Map. Looking at my site I can see the the Site Map code so how do I submit it to Google?
I went into Tools - Google XML Sitemap Admin and created (but did nothing else) the following code:
Google Sitemap Generation (v 1.3.19 20.04.2008 17:24) started
Save path - "/home/sites/xxx.com/public_html/"
Base URL - "http://www.xxx.com/"

Is this correct? Does "File 'robots.txt' not found...." indicate a problem? Finally, where does this Site Map actually go in my site so Google registers it?
Apologies for the long post.

Doh!
Sometimes you just can't see the wood for the trees.
Thanks
