+Although it is not able to read the meta-data from files, using google-sitemapgen [works well for me](http://bzed.de/posts/2010/06/creating_a_google_sitemap_for_ikiwiki/) to create a sitemap for my ikiwiki installation. -- [[bzed|BerndZeimetz]]

+There is a [sitemap XML standard](http://www.sitemaps.org/protocol.php) that ikiwiki needs to generate for.

+# Google Webmaster tools and RSS
+
+On [Google Webmaster tools](https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools) you can substitute an RSS feed as a sitemap. Do not use Atom as if you have malformed XHTML it will fail to parse and you will get a ERROR message like so:
+
+	We were unable to read your Sitemap. It may contain an entry we are unable to recognize. Please validate your Sitemap before resubmitting.
+
+[Google should grok feeds as sitemaps.](http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=34654) Or rather [[plugins/inline]] should be improved to support the [sitemap protocol](http://sitemaps.org/protocol.php) natively.

+
+* Added rss=>1 and allowrss=>1 to my setup file
+* Created a new page where the RSS would be created with this content, replacing "first_page" with the page in my wiki with the earliest date:
+
+<pre>
+\[[!inline  pages="* and !*/Discussion and created_after(first_page)" archive="yes" rss="yes" ]]
