- In the Add Sitemap screen (Figure 8), choose Add General Web Sitemap from
the pop-up menu.

- Enter the complete URL for the sitemap created by the Google Sitemap Generator plugin in the "My Sitemap URL is" box.
- Click Add Web Sitemap. Google displays a screen that lists the site's

"Pending." You're done.
