History
= Preposition =
This plugin is similar to Arne Brachold’s (arnee) Google XML Sitemaps Plugin.
When i ran into trouble from its huge hunger for memory, I decided to write another Google Sitemapper, including all important features, but less memory usage.
It is also my first WP plugin ever. Hope you like and use it.
