Site Map Generator
The site map generator we built into this release of the software, generates a site map designed for the search engines, allowing them to find data faster and more efficiently. It is basically a document that lists the pages in the site. To see an example go to here: https://inology.au/sitemap.xml.
Search Engine Submission
Once you have created your site map for the search engines you can use our new feature to submit it to the major search engines (Google, Yahoo!, Ask.com and Bing). Your site will be added to there list to be later index by the search engine robots, also known as spiders or crawlers.
RSS Feeds
Real simple syndication (RSS) is a relatively new and easy way to distribute content via the Internet. People wishing to view new content on your website without having to go there to check if any has been added, can subscribe to an RSS feed on your site using a feed reader (most internet browsers have them built in). The feed reader periodically checks for updates, downloads them and provides a user interface for you to monitor and read the feeds. The icon to the right is generally accepted as a standard indication that there is an RSS Feed on the website. Some browsers include this icon in their toolbar when it detects an RSS Feed on the page being viewed. Clicking on the icon will allow you to subscibe to that feed. RSS Feed detection is now included with this release of the software. To see an example go to here: https://inology.au/rssfeed/.

This new feature will allow you to add a star rating to your page, blog post, product or service articles. Your visitors can click on the star rating to rate the article themselves. You can see it in action at the top of this post.
