Partially answering my own question... there is some support for Sitemaps in XWiki http://code.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Snippets/XmlSitemapGeneratorSnippet The above might not even be necessary since google builds sitemaps out of RSS fedds as well. However, they are not working with XWiki's RSS, only with another application's "Atom" format feed. I have three working XWiki feeds per my firefox browser: http://nielsmayer.com/xwiki/bin/view/Blog/GlobalBlogRss?xpage=plain http://nielsmayer.com/xwiki/bin/view/Main/TagsRss?xpage=plain http://nielsmayer.com/xwiki/bin/view/Main/WebRss?xpage=plain Yet when given to Google Webmaster tools<https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/docs/en/about.html>, these feeds turn up errors, even though I corrected the encoding of the files to UTF8 (see prev message): roller/NielsMayer/feed/entries/atom

The specific error continues to be:
- *Unsupported file format* Your Sitemap does not appear to be in a supported format. Please ensure it meets our Sitemap guidelines and resubmit. Help<http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=35738&hl=en> [image: Help]
Any further suggestions?? Is there a way to get XWiki to output 'atom' instead of 'RSS'? Perhaps google will accept atom-based feeds but not RSS? The docs indicate it handles RSS feeds. Niels http://nielsmayer.com
