Google Sitemaps

Yesterday I signed up for Google Sitemaps Beta. They use a cool method to prove you own the web site you are registering: they give you a random filename to post on your webserver, and a button to click when you have posted it.

Today I checked the HTTP errors their crawler found and fixed 10 of them. The other 2 are hard - the tool doesn't tell me what the referring page is, and it's not obvious where on the site the links are.

Still, it's gratifying to have 10 fewer errors on the site.
