Google's webmaster central reports that it is now even easier to tell them where your sitemap is.
All you have to do now is add the following line into your robots.txt file:
Sitemap: http://www.mysite.com/sitemap.xml

Easy as that!
Gack Ink, the bring your own blog network, announced the latest blogs to join.
Welcome to Denise Kincy Grier’s Writing Journey, Home Office Women, Live Life - Organics and Your Health, The Pleasure of Being a Woman, Middle Zone Musings, Grow Your Writing Business and Work at Home Revolution.
Dawud Miracle demonstrates exactly why you should never use "click here" as your link text.
Apart from destroying certain SEO properties of a link and failing no less than two (that I can think off from the top of my head) points in the WCAG 1.0, it makes a post look ridiculous. Thanks Dawud for making it painfully obvious that you should consider your anchor text every time you link.
Win a Microsoft Zune
John Chow, who's blog helps you make money on the internet, is giving away a 30GB Microsoft Zune. All you have to do is link to it, like this! It's worth a go!
