As the blog grows, the sitemap could become quite large. You don't believe Google has a problem with that, I'm assuming. I'll get the WordPress tool.

What do you mean you copied a sitemap from another site? As for the important, it is VITAL in our opinion. The first is that it makes it much easier for Google to spider your entire site. For the amount of work it takes to build one and for the fact that it "helps" ensure Google has clear access to every page, the quesiton is why would you not want to have one? The second reason (and we will show this in a coming up post) the data Google gives you in the webmaster tools area is VERY powerful. copied a sitemap???

How important is it for the sitemap to include all of the pages? Won't Google and the others follow your links and index the site?
