XML Sitemap Creation
Create XML sitemap that can be submitted to Google, Bing, Yahoo and more search engines to help them crawl your website better. its better for search engines to easily crawl your websites. XML sitemaps were not, as some user friendly a tool for search engine optimization.
The XML protocol, search engines could track the URL's more efficiently,summarizes how frequently a particular website is updated, and records the last time any changes were made.
XML format ensures that this information can be easily processed on different kinds of applications and systems, so Search engines (Google, Yahoo, Bing, and other search engines) won't have any problems with understanding your sitemap files.
XML Sitemap sample:-
< <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">
<url>
<loc>http://www.example.com/</loc>
<lastmod>2005-01-01</lastmod>
<changefreq>monthly</changefreq>
<priority>0.8</priority>
</url>
<url>
<loc>http://www.example.com/about.htm</loc>
<changefreq>daily</changefreq>
</url>
</urlset>
The sitemap example above contains 2 URLs and all of the allowed optional tags: <lastmod>, <changefreq> and <priority>.
How to create a /robots.txt file
You need a robots.txt file only if your site includes content that you don't want search engines to index. If you want search engines to index everything in your site, you don't need a robots.txt its basically for search engine crawler's
First of all you will have to create a txt file(robots.txt) and keep the below mentioned code which one is you needed and and upload the robots.txt in your root folder on your website server.

WordPress provide us two interfaces i.e. Front End and an Admin Panel interface. There URLs are:-
http://your server name/directory name/index.php
http://your server name/directory name/wp-admin/index.php
Please have a look at the front end screen dump:-
The header which we are seeing as “Mosaic Weblog” is manageable through the Admin part through the following link.
Presentation (Exist in Top Navigation)
Header Image and Color
Here we can edit the text colors, etc of headers.
Next you are seeing the articles posted by its users with number of comments by its viewers and their categories.
These Posts are manageable with Admin interface very easily. If we want to add a new POST, then we can go to the link
“Write Post” under “Write” section. We have one more link under “Write” section i.e. “Write Page” through which we can add more static content pages like About Us. And if we want to edit the existing POST then we can use the link “Posts” under “Manage” section. In the “Manage” section we have a lots of options through which we can handle our POSTs, categories, comments, etc.
“Write Post” under “Write” section. We have one more link under “Write” section i.e. “Write Page” through which we can add more static content pages like About Us. And if we want to edit the existing POST then we can use the link “Posts” under “Manage” section. In the “Manage” section we have a lots of options through which we can handle our POSTs, categories, comments, etc.
Its subheadings are Posts, Pages, Categories, Comments, Awaiting Moderations and Files. For editing the existing static content pages like About Us, we have to go for the “Pages” link. In the “Categories” subheading we can manage the categories of POSTs. In “Comments” link we can see all those comments which are entered by the site users against the articles posted on the site. They can only be viewed to others if and only if they are approved by the administrator. In the “Awaiting Moderations” link we can see all those comments which are disapproved or which are waiting for approval. We have many options to play with all of these unapproved comments like “Mark all for approval”, “Mark all as spam”, “Mark all for deletion” and “Mark all for later”. And in the “Files” link, we can manage some commonly used files like Style sheet, Archives, etc.
Next we are seeing the “pages” heading in the right part of the screen dump. As we discussed earlier, these pages are totally managed through the Admin interface by the link Manage-->Pages and Write-->Write Page.
Next we are seeing the “blogrolls”. It is a default category defines by the admin for links. It simply means the list of links of other author’s sites which we want to be viewed by the site viewers. These can be managed by the section called “Links”.
We have its subsections as “Manage Links” where we can edit, delete and can change the status of the links. Then we have “Add Link” option to add a new link to our blogrolls. Then we have “Link Categories”, from here we can add, edit and delete the link categories like blogroll. Next we have “Import Links” option which help us to import our blogrolls from any other site or system.
We also have some more options in the admin interface like “Dashboard”, “Presentation”, Plugins, Users, Options and Import.
In the “Users” section we have two more sub sections as “Your Profile” and “Authors & Users”. From “Your Profile” link we can manage the administrator details and from “Authors & Users” link we can add, edit and delete the existing users and also can change their roles.
In the “Presentation” section we have two more sub sections as “Theme” and “Theme Editor”. In the “Theme” subsection we can select any template theme from the two themes available to us. And in the “Theme Editor” we can edit the theme files like Stylesheet(style.css), PopupComments(comments-popup.php), Comments(comments.php), Footer(footer.php), Header(header.php), Main Index Template(index.php) and Sidebar(sidebar.php).
In the “Options” sections we have some sub-sections as General, Writing, Reading, Discussion, Permalinks and Miscellaneous. Now in the “General” section we can manage some general details regarding our site like Weblog Title, Tagline, URLs, Official email address, Membership options, Date & Time options, etc. In the “Writing” heading we can manage the number of lines, formatting and default post category for each new POST. In the “Reading” heading we can manage the number of POSTs to be viewed at the front end on a single page. In the “Permalinks” option we can manage the URL type to be displayed on the user’s browser or we can say URL rewriting. In the “Miscellaneous” option we can define the default directory where all the uploads to be kept.
There are many more features we have in our WordPress site, which we have discussed are few of them. We can add more features by downloading more Plugins from the WordPress official site.
