If you have a large blog, it would be easier for your visitors to locate and view the posts or pages (listed by categories) that interest them if you have a sitemap on your blog.

The Dragon Design Sitemap Generator plugin for WordPress is simple to install and use. It has features for multi-level post and page categories, category exclusion, multiple-page post and page listing with navigation links plus what order to list items in, post dates and comment counts etc. You can see an example here.

Step 1: Download the plugin here.

Step 2: FTP the plugin to your WordPress Plugin folder and activate the same.

Step 3: Go to the WordPress Dashboard Settings and click the DD SitemapGen link. In the Options screen, indicate your sitemap display preference.

Step 4: Create a page with a title of your choice e.g. Site Map. Paste this code: <!– ddsitemapgen –> to your Sitemap page (top) and click Publish or Update Settings.  Preview your Sitemap page and you would see your posts and pages arranged in categories according to your earlier indicated display preference.

You can choose to have your Sitemap link display either in your blog header,  sidebar or other places on your blog.
