# Sitemap.xml Generator is a Jekyll plugin that generates a sitemap.xml file by
# traversing all of the available posts and pages.
# 
# How To Use:
#   1) Copy source file into your _plugins folder within your Jekyll project.
#   2) Change modify the url variable in _config.yml to reflect your domain name.
#   3) Run Jekyll: jekyll --server to re-generate your site.
#
# Variables:
#   * Change SITEMAP_FILE_NAME if you want your sitemap to be called something
#     other than sitemap.xml.
#   * Change the PAGES_INCLUDE_POSTS list to include any pages that are looping
#     through your posts (e.g. "index.html", "archive.html", etc.). This will
#     ensure that right after you make a new post, the last modified date will
#     be updated to reflect the new post.
#   * A sitemap.xml should be included in your _site folder.
#   * If there are any files you don't want included in the sitemap, add them
#     to the EXCLUDED_FILES list. The name should match the name of the source
#     file.
#   * If you want to include the optional changefreq and priority attributes,
#     simply include custom variables in the YAML Front Matter of that file.
#     The names of these custom variables are defined below in the
#     CHANGE_FREQUENCY_CUSTOM_VARIABLE_NAME and PRIORITY_CUSTOM_VARIABLE_NAME
#     constants.
#
# Notes:
#   * The last modified date is determined by the latest from the following:
#     system modified date of the page or post, system modified date of
#     included layout, system modified date of included layout within that
#     layout, ...
