📌 Minor updates and fixes applied
Sunday 20 December 2015
Minor updates and fixes applied We’ve made some minor updates to our spider for the online and windows version of our sitemap generator. Binary files Binary files such as Word Document, Adobe PDF, etc. previously just showed the HTTP server response such as “Ok”. We now simply show the filename of such files. Domain names We have relaxed validation on domain names so it is not essential to use punycode. You can therefore decide which domain name you want to use for your sitemap.
📌 Sitemap Ping Service Update
Thursday 29 October 2015
Sitemap Ping Service Update Based on valuable user feedback, over the last week or so we’ve been making a number of improvements to the ping services as part of ongoing enhancements to the service. Some users experienced problems with the ping form not being automatically populated after generating their sitemap. We’ve resolved this so that it now shows all the details about your website ready for pinging. The form will automatically include website name, RSS and XML Sitemap urls.

📌 How we use your email address
Monday 2 February 2015
How we use your email address We occasionally get questions about how we use your email address. We do already spell this out in our EULA (End User Licence Agreement), however as with a lot of similar documents people don’t always read them and blindly click accept. We thought we would write a brief article to highlight this particular area. Most users will only receive 2 or maybe 3 emails over a number of days as they go through the process of creating a sitemap, downloading it and then finally reviewing our service.
📌 Updated version now online
Thursday 29 January 2015
Updated version now online We’ve released a minor update to fix a number of minor issues in our online XML Sitemap Generator. Select page title element When we generate HTML and RSS sitemaps we previously used the <title> tag which didn’t suit many users. We have now made this configurable and made the default value the <h1> tag. To change this setting use the “more settings” button. Other fixes Fix : Unable to edit extensions list
