Alastair, I have one web application that is used to run 100+ domains. We’re adding content to some of these sites http://www.PublicWaterMan.com and http://www.PublicEvidenceMan.com and don’t seem to be getting indexed by Google. We get hits with their ‘bots’ as well as Yahoo’s and MSN’s each night (exception_notification emails) but we don’t seem to score.
Anyway, I’m just now waking up to the fact that I’m blowing it without having any sitemap.xml and wondered if I could hire you to write a routine and the cron job on my server.
I am grateful for any reply.
David

Hi,
thanx for this tutorial – works great!
Just for other Rails newbies like me. Place the rake task in the lib—>tasks directory. See http://blog.stonean.com/2007/12/custom-rake-tasks.html
