Hi Prit,
1. Sitemaps
When trying to submit a sitemap to Google, it reports errors in the xml file.
I examined the structure a couple of times, and everything seems fine.
My next guess was that Google or xml standards didin't like the "index.php" portion of the url. Then I discovered that some sitemap generators also failed to include viewCategory urls when category names have more than 1 word (dot separated).
My first conclusion is that issue might be related the url structure Pritlog uses.
I learned that RSS feeds could also be used as sitemaps, but that xml would also be affected.
My reason for trying to use sitemaps is that I want to prevent search engines from following links like login, forgot pass, contact forms, etc. And at the same time I want them to include some linked pages that aren't posts itelf so they don't appear in the RSS feed.
2. index.php / htaccess
I know that having index.php as part of the url is an old subject we discussed many times before. Later on, my tests confirmed that it doesn't seem to affect search engine positioning; so aparently it isn't an issue when search bots crawl the site.
So far I was unable to find any site using index.php as part of their url in the way Pritlog uses it. Any one you know ?
You mentioned that the only way to get rid of index.php is via htaccess. Until now all attempts of doing so failed. Do you have any rewrite rule I could test ?
