Did you upload your sitemaps before that changed?

Site maps are dynamic, they get updated on the sever. SYS sitemap is never outdated.

Yes, but you still need to submit them to the search engine websites.  And if you add more images or make changes after they are submitted, then you need to resubmit them.

Is that true? Doesnt seem to be the case for the SYS sitemap.

I knew I asked this question before so I reviewed that thread. I am amazed that they just keep disappearing and then reappearing again.     81 errors? They seem to be multiplying.

Here's my last thread:

Resubmitting Sitemaps

When you make changes to your Sitemap, you can resubmit it using your Google Webmaster Tools account or an HTTP request.

Resubmit a Sitemap using Webmaster Tools

On the Webmaster Tools Home page, click the site you want.
Under Optimization, click Sitemaps.
Select the Sitemap(s) you want to resubmit, and then click the Resubmit Sitemap button.

What is contained in a site map?  Is it a pointer to a page or the individual content on that page.  In the case of our images, does it point to an image depository that holds all images, or a listing of individual images?

I'm wondering exactly what changes on our sites triggers the need to resubmit a site map.  If I upload 6 new images will they be included in future indexing because the current sitemap points to the image depository or do I need to resubmit because the sitemap is looking to a list of images that needs to be resubmited to show the new images.

Same for a blog post - will the site map look for the blog page and pick up individual new posts or do I need to resubmit after every post?

Thanks for the link Ron! What I got out of reading the info was that you can/should resubmit the image sitemap after adding new images. Leo's image sitemap updates itself on your server only once every 24hrs so you'll have to wait after adding images for it to auto update itself. Then you can go into webmaster tools and resubmit the sitemap.  If you have Leo's plugin you can see your sitemap at http://www.yoursite.com/symbiostock_image_sitemap.xml  That way you can tell if your latest images are showing on the sitemap.

I noticed the yoast sitemap seems to resubmit itself to google without my doing anything but I have to manually resubmit  Leo's image sitemap.

just mark the datasheet errors as 'fixed' and eventually they go away 0-- it may just be that google's not visiting your site very often so it's checking older pages.  it wont affect anything in SEO
