    HI,

    I have installed Google Site Map, and have cr4ated a resource called Sitemap (hidden form menus) with this snippet in the content:

    [[!GoogleSiteMap]]

    I expected that if I went to domain.com/Sitemap.xml it would display an XML sitemap for Search engines to crawl - but I get a 404 - am I missing the point with this plugin?

    It I go to:
    domain.com/Sitemap
    I do get a list of resources etc - but they dont' seem formatted the way a normal xml sitemap is.


    Any ideas?
    Thanks
    Andy

      My Bad - I hadn't changed the resource type to XML - changed it and it's working fine.
