 * Hey all!
 * I have installed this plugin. But I have a question:
 * The url stated in the plugin is the normal ”http” url, but I use SSL on my website.
   How do I change the url to https?
 * And, how do I exactly ”notify” search engines? This is what is stated:
 * _”Search engines haven’t been notified yet. Write a post to let them know about
   your sitemap.”_
 * But I don’t post anything, I only have pages etc. on my website.
 * Thank you in advance! 🙂

 * You can also just edit any page to start the ping 🙂
 * Regarding the URL, it uses the information from WordPress. Make sure you also
   have https:// in your WordPress settings (under General).
