 * There must be 20 or so sitemap plugins available. It’s hard to answer any of 
   these without knowing what plugin you’re using.
 * 1. Sometimes. It’s best to list it in your robots.txt file (most sitemap plugins
   do this for you) or to add it to Webmaster Tools: [https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/](https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/)
 * 2. Sometimes. If you submitted it to Sitemap Tools, most sitemap plugins will
   ping Google with updates.
 * 3. If this is available in the plugin, it will be an option in the plugin settings.
