Unable to create sitemaps and backup site

[hameau]

Actually a thml sitemap isn't just a list of links.
It should offer also page description and if possible last change date.

I would not expect a Site Map or Site Index page on a website to include that extra information, but there is no reason why it could not be shown, I suppose.

Whether for a Site Index page or for sitemap.xml, I would not include any hidden pages or other hidden resources. If the Site Index is for visitors and sitemap.xml is to guide the search engines, in both cases I would not want to expose hidden content – after all, it is hidden for a reason. ;-)

@connie : Your guide to generating a Site Index is very useful – thanks! I may be missing a detail of the German, but perhaps you could mention that the guide is only for generating a site page, not for generating sitemap.xml (which can be generated from the admin control panel, of course)?
