Yes – another blog plugin to create sitemaps – this one’s a little different. This is a plugin for WordPress that creates a real sitemap, not an XML sitemap for search engines, this a sitemap for your visitors.
DD Site Map Gen is from Dagon Design and generates a sitemap that can be placed on a dedicated static page. As it uses dynamic code it is constantly being updated. The sitemap can be customized to sort all your posts, all your pages or both your posts and pages. The sitemap can be produced sorted by date and or by category. I find it useful to sort by category first and then date. This produces a very professional looking sitemap in the old list web page list style.
The plugin has language files for English, Albanian, Brazilian-Portuguese, Bulgarian, Czech, Dutch, French, German, Japanese, Polish, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Slovene, Spanish, Swedish and Turkish. It is very easy to install, configure and use.
A good sitemap like this is one way to instantly produce an enormous number of internal links for blog.
WordPress tips:
If you file posts in more than one category then that post will appear in your sitemap under each category – file a post in three categories and it will appear three times in the sitemap.
Unless you have a large number of pages, by large I mean more than 300, then produce your sitemap on one single page.
