For Google bots, there are some elements of Google Sitemaps that interact with the robots.txt file. No other bots have access to Google Sitemaps info. You still want a robot.txt file even if you are using Google Sitemaps > I didn't know robots text > was important for accessibility, however I learned from the > accessites team that it is. Umm... no - you (or someone) has mixed up robots.txt with something else (not sure what!) robots.txt is generally used to tell bots where they can't go. People who benefit from high accessability in a site are not bots! :) I can't think of *any* overlap between accessability and robots.txt True statement: 'if it is accessible then a bot will be able to crawl it well' (a general rule, anyway) False statement: 'if you block a bot with robots.txt then the site is not accessible' IMHO warmly, Lea -- Lea de Groot Elysian Systems Brisbane, Australia ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *******************************************************************
