Write errors with Google XML Sitemap Generator and WordPress
Published April 13, 2012 | 
I’ve run into a problem where my Google Sitemap Generator plugin for WordPress keeps generating an error that there’s been a problem and it can’t write to either sitemap.xml or sitemap.xml.gz.
The error I get is:
"There was a problem writing your sitemap file. Make sure the file exists and is writable. Learn more
There was a problem writing your zipped sitemap file. Make sure the file exists and is writable. Learn more"
This seems to have started since I upgraded to Google XML Sitemaps 3.2.6. If I rebuild the sitemap manually, everything works fine, the file is written and I don’t get any errors. But left to it’s own devices, things don’t go so well.
I haven’t really solved the problem, but I believe I’ve managed to work around it. First, I downgraded back to Google XML Sitemaps 3.1.6. Since I have a blog running under IIS, there might be another change to make. If you go to Settings – XML Sitemap, Under the Location of your sitemap file:
I selected Custom Location and then put in the full pathname to the file such as C:\Inetpub\blog directory\wordpress\sitemap.xml
With those changes in place, the plugin seems to be working again. After a post, the sitemap.xml file is updated and I don’t get the write protection error. I’m not sure if it was one change or the other, but it’s fixed and I’m not messing with it.

Cradle of Rome – Free for a limited time
Published April 8, 2012 | I picked this up as a free download and have been quite impressed. It’s a pretty nice Match-3 game like 10 Talismans, but with a city building element. Earn gold and resources by the tiles you match then use that to buy buildings for your city. Start as a peasant in a hut and work your way up. It’s a pretty ice variation and you can’t beat free. I’m sure it’s only free for the Easter weekend so you better hurry.

Published April 6, 2012 | O&O Software has an Easter Egg on their site that gives you a free license to O&O DriveLED v4.0. Since it’s an Easter Egg you have to go searching for it. But where to start? Actually, it’s not that hard. Let your fingers do the walking and let the site help you out. Maybe you could do a search for "Easter Egg" and see what comes back.
While you’re out there you can use the coupon code "EASTER2012" to save 30% off anything in the online store. Not a bad deal.
