      <title>Sitemap with Rails</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;I finally got around to generating a &lt;a href="http://www.jessirae.com/blog/sitemap.xml"&gt;sitemap&lt;/a&gt; for this site.  I used &lt;a href="http://blog.ipangels.com/blog/_archives/2005/6/18/951620.html"&gt;these instructions&lt;/a&gt; for creating sitemaps in rails.  Very simple and straight forward instructions.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Unfortunately, the sitemap created isn&amp;#8217;t valid according to google.  The xml document created has &lt;code&gt;&amp;lt;link&amp;gt;&lt;/code&gt; tags instead of &lt;code&gt;&amp;lt;loc&amp;gt;&lt;/code&gt; tags which &lt;a href="https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/docs/en/protocol.html"&gt;google webmaster&lt;/a&gt; requires.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://jessirae.com/blog/files/sitemap_errors.png" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;I am guessing that these errors mean that my sitemap is useless to Google.  Still looking for a solution and will post an update as soon as I find one.&lt;/p&gt;
