   So i've been waiting for the site to index properly and noticed that it has picked up a few bits and pieces although incorrectly.

   When searching for Stocks for Breakfast (blog) and Daily Charts (Category) it brings me to a page saying 'Nothing found on this page' although I have a few posts on there.

   Google link - http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=en&q=stocks+for+breakfast+daily+charts&btnG=Google+Search&meta=&aq=f&oq=

   Once clicked - http://www.stocksforbreakfast.com/daily-charts/

   Any ideas.. do I need to convert the categories into tags so it picks it up or what?

   Converted the Categories into tags so hopefully that will solve an issue or two.. waiting game begins

   If you are using All in One SEO plugin, it defaults to not having category pages indexed by search engines. Tags default TO be indexed

   ahh gotcha, so in theory wouldnt that mess up Category pages being found or because I've converted them to Tags it will fix things?

   either install the XML Sitemap plugin (make sure you read the instructions carefully) or create a sitemap at http://www.xml-sitemaps.com/

   Either way you will first need an account at Google Webmaster Central

   I've run xml sitemap and downloaded the compressed version. With WordPress on a custom host where should I upload this to?
