  Aleksandar Kovrlija: I am building a website on Wordpress and I want to create an XML Sitemap and after that I want to verify a website using the Google Webmaster Tools.If I made an XML Sitemap and then I verify a website,do I still need to add an XML Sitemap after a verification with the Webmaster Tools is done?I watched a tutorial that the last step after verification is to add an XML Sitemap using Google Webmaster Tools.Will I make a mistake if I add an XML Sitemap after a HTML verification is over or can I just skip adding an XML Sitemap because I already made an XML Sitemap before a verification with the Google Webmaster Tools?

  Collin Davis: +Aleksandar Kovrlija you can add sitemap to the website before or after you have verified your website. It doesn't make a difference.
  
  However once you added the sitemap, you then need to update the path to the sitemap in Google Webmaster Tools. Hope that clears your query.

  Harry Dance: Correct me if I'm wrong ;+Raman Mehrotra ; but he means XML . If you are building a wordpress site used for blogging then it should already have a xml sitemap. Just type the website name i.e www.example(dot)com /sitemap.xml

  Raman Mehrotra: Hi Harry & lark sander sure most blogs should have xml sitemap which should be sufficient to add go to webmaster, > crawl> top right add sitemap.xml
