Three new userscripts for blogger, courtesy of Kuribo. Now you can add emoticons to Blogger, add an append link for CoComment, and (this is the one that I'm really excited about) generate a sitemap for Blogger. These are hosted on Userscripts.org too, but there's something going on over there and I can't access those versions.

So. Sitemaps in review, since that's the one that's really got me interested. What do we know about sitemaps already? See my two previous posts, and the following:

1. They're a way to get your site crawled more speedily by Google
2. They're a way to access more comprehensive stats about your site (although Performancing Metrics may run this close at this point...)
3. For maximum statistics, the service requires that you upload a verification file.
4. Blogspot users are not able to access the server to upload the file.
   

So why the script? You can generate a sitemap without modification of blogger's settings. I don't think this cracks the verification issue, but a pretty cool sitemap can be had this way.
Here's the English Translation of Kuribo's original post.
