I too use a site index in the form of my archives page. I did have a separate sitemap page, but coded the archives page differently so that I could condense the two.. From everything I've read (and yes, i too am very new to blogging - only a couple months for me as well)it seems as though a sitemap is quite important, as you have pointed out. Another great and useful post. Hey Chris! I too use a site index in the form of my archives page.

If you left it working Kevin, it'll be taking care of business itself. There's no question you'll get indexed by Google (eventually) without one, but if speed counts, you need one. Cheers David! Thanks Anita - A lot of them are due to the '<a href="http://blog-op.com/the-z-list-it-works/" rel="nofollow">Z list</a>' but I'm not complaining :-) Like this one Matt? ;-)

I definitely suggest setting it up with Yahoo as well, I did and got indexed almost immediately. BTW - I saw your links are going up quick in Technorati, nice job!

Sure, Google will find you eventually, but as RT says, the plugin makes it almost instant - the fastest a post of mine made it into Google was about 3 hours! Everyone has server probs at the moment RT, the internet's getting overloaded ;-) I'm having words with that Claire, Kai.....
