Re:I think I have got it done correctly can you check?

Hi Brad, Iam half blind by now, But I think ..I have the site map done correctly but not sure.
I went by the instruction the mapper box gives as to placing the button on home page (placed it in html box) and I "think" I have the file uploaded correctly. So at bottom of my home page http://www.displaycasej.com
there is the ror link that the mapper instructions tell you to place.
if you have a minute please take a look and tell me if thats it or if I need to link it to the actual url http://www.displaycasej.com/ror.xml
or if its all wrong.
Thanks!

Re: Your Google Sitemap

Hi, I need some help hyperlinking my ROR Sitemap to my index page. I used the ROR Sitemap Generator downloaded from bluevoda, created an ROR file and saved it to my desktop. I then uploaded the ror file to my public_html file throught the ftp manager. My question is now that it is uploaded into my public folder how do I go about hyperlinking it to my homepage? I am new to creating web pages so if someone could give me step by step instructions it would be greatly appreciated. Do I need to create a whole new page for the ror file and then link it or what? I am lost. I opened up my homepage in the website builder to try to link it, but the hyperlink button on the toolbar is not lit up (I don't have the option to click on it) when I open the page I have built. So I don't know how to place a hyperlink in my existing page without the button being active to do so. Thanks in advance for your help.

Easy Way to Get ROR

Hi
I spent all day yesterday pursuing the same ROR path as other forum users before me. First I downloaded ROR, then I had to download a massive .NET file which didn't exactly correspond to the file name that the ROR program wanted, then I had to download a windows service pack. And at the end of the day it didn't work, so I googled "ROR sitemap generator" and came up with the following URL www.rorweb.com/rormap.htm

At that site, I entered my URL and within a few seconds it had scanned my site and came back with a ROR.XML file. The instructions stated to upload it to my top directory, which having read this forum, I can do with Blueftp.

There was also a second line of code which they instructed to copy into the <HEAD> of my index page. Presumably this code tells web crawlers to jump to the ROR.XML file.

I couldn't figure out how to access the source code with the BV website builder, so I submitted a ticket about "How to access source code" and this morning the Help desk referred me here where I found some answers.

I assume that there never will be a way to access the BV encoding of the webpages, and hence you suggest that we put a discrete link from our homepage to the ROR.XML file in our top directory.

BUT, could one, as an alternative insert this code, into the <HEAD> by putting it in under author's name in the index page properties?

Re: Your Google Sitemap

The page code is accessible for ADDING code. Just rig***lick somewhere in a blank space of your page, select Page Html, and, for this case,
click on Between Head TAg, and paste the code there.

Re: Your Google Sitemap

Hi Brad
What does this site map normally contain ??
I have about 15 pages with various internal and external links
but they are not listed in the ror.xml file...or have I got this wrong?

**navaldesign** · 04-23-2006, 12:18 AM

Re: Your Google Sitemap

The problem is usually that ROR can't follow links in the menubar (as also most of the existing sitemapers). The solution is to create a sitemap page (have a look at www.navaldesign.info/sitemap.html ) and put a link to this page in your index page. This way both ROR and the SE will be able to trace all of your pages.

Re: Your Google Sitemap

Hi naval
Thanks for the quick reply....
Are you saying that I have to create a site map, listing Every link in my site,
to enable a site mapper to work ??
Or should I just list the pages(page names?)

**navaldesign** · 04-23-2006, 07:10 AM

Re: Your Google Sitemap

You have to create a page listing all the URL's. If, at the same time you want it to be also a visible and useful to visitors sitemap, you can do it as i did, listed the pages names, and linked every name to the relevant URL.

There are some sitemapers (usuallly paid a smal price for) that will even create a dynamic or static tree structure of your site for presentation reasons (they create a html page with the tree structure) and you can edit the tree, adding pages missing, deleting the ones that you don't want to be there, adding or modifying the page description and name and so on. They then create the xml file, and they even submit it at least to Google.

I prefered this kind of sitemap, as i want to add two more columns, in English and in French.

Re: Your Google Sitemap

This is a windows quirk , it needs ,net installed, most computers have it
pre-installed, some dont.

**David Marshall** · 04-26-2006, 05:38 PM

Re: Your Google Sitemap

Thanks for the reply,

given that quirk, is there an alternative to ror or should I sort out windows?

thanks

dave
