WordPress XML Sitemaps and The DateTime Stamp
I live in the Los Angeles timezone, PST. I set my blogs to PST in the WordPress control panel. Enter Google XML Sitemaps Generator plugin. The generator uses GMT to stamp the sitemap revision time. Not so on the generator at http://www.xml-sitemaps.com/index.php. That’s available as an option but the default is, “use server response.” I have now switched off the date stamp option in the plugin. This is the only option to keep it from stamping a date 8 or 9 hours in the future, depending on DST.
I posted about this issue on the WordPress forum and the plugin author responded that GMT is the “only time that Google accepts.”
Do you think that could be true?
The sitemap generator page leads me to believe otherwise. I’m posting this as a test to see what Google does now, with no timestamp.
