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/"
File "robots.txt" not found in save path - "/home/sites/xxx.com/public_html/robots.txt"

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.
