Making a Sitemap.xml for a website with Joomla Virtuemart

To make my sitemaps for websites I've been using the top ranking program http://www.xml-sitemaps.com/ - however when trying to sitemap a website that is built with Joomla and uses Virtuemart then it seems to hang before completing. 

The solution for this I found is to use Xmap - to create a sitemap.xml for Joomla.  It also has additional extensions that you might want to install for your site also.  

You need to add the component and plugin and once set up then usage is pretty simple 

>> go to component on the component list in Admin

>> click on the the '+' next to add menu and add the menu's you want the script to search through

>> to find your sitemap.xml goto the 'options' dropdown on the right and click on preferences.

>> now under 'Sitemap's URL' you can right click and open the link in XML Sitemap input box. 

>> from here I've been going to source and copy and pasting to my sitemap.xml and then alerting google, Yahoo, Bing.  However i'm sure there's a better way to do this.  If you know it then could you let me know.  Thanks

Sitemaps I've made with this method are Escape Surfboards Sitemap - LittleRipples Sitemap

Monthly SEO plan for Mint Condition Mobile Car Valet.

A new business in Bournemouth has been set up by Sean Brinkman in the field of Mobile Car valet.  As well as a basic site set up advertising his new businesses this will also be the first one that I be setting up on a 'Basic SEO advertising package'  with the aim to increase month by month the website standings on Search Engines such as Google, Yahoo and Bing.

Every month I will be making a new site map for the site and submitting it to the forementioned search engines.

Tips: There should be some unique content on the front page of this site  at every month but ideally at least every week.  You can use your twitter and facebook feeds to deliver this content.

Month 1 : The initial pages are set up with meta tags information for these key words.

Set up of google analytics.

Here are the main pages

Month 2: Business Places set up on Google.

Month 3: Pages for an extended list of key words.

Month 4:  Is it worth expanding your net so that your keywords can be found in other languages. thanks to translation sites this work can be done quickly.

Display external remote HTML in a Joomla Template

This document is a little more general than having to be for Joomla.  It should work in any PHP environment.
What I'm wanting to do is have one file that I can change externally that I can display the HTML from on all of my sites .  Heres the code

 $filename = "http://www.yourdomain.com/linksfooter.php";
       $handle = fopen($filename, "r");    

$contents = stream_get_contents($handle);
fclose($handle);

echo $contents;
            ?>

Failed attempts to get to download from an IMAP server to Outlook Express

Currently we have all out mail on an IMAP server but would like to be able to take it all somewhere else.  To achieve this the method I am using is to download it to outlook express and then save it from there.  

The only problem being when trying to do so I was getting this error

PLAIN * authentication failed. None of the authentication methods supported by your IMAP server (if any) are supported on this computer.

This is how I solved the problem 

Firslty I had a clean up of the computer and made a bit more space.  To know avail.

Secondly I used ctrl - alt - delete and shut down proccesses going on the background that where taking up a lot of CPU usage. 

SUCCESS :))
