Heads-up, Google published a post today about the sitemaps endpoint going away. And they also covered the use of lastmod in sitemaps -> "You can still submit your sitemaps through robots.txt and Search Console, but the HTTP requests ("pings") to the deprecated REST endpoint will result in a 404 error. Support for sitemaps ping and the endpoint will stop functioning in 6 months."

My #May blog post is up! 🥳
This month, I’m sharing a method for generating custom #sitemaps with #Astro when the official sitemap integration isn’t flexible enough, for example when you want per-page `lastmod` values, instead of per-site ones, or have internationalised slugs the official integration can’t match to each other.
Enjoy it here: https://amxmln.com/blog/2023/creating-custom-sitemaps-in-astro/ 😊

Within sitemap you can provide additional information about the following content per page:
1. Video

“Your site has a lot of rich media content (video, images) or is shown in Google News. If provided, Google can take additional information from sitemaps into account for search, where appropriate.” - https://developers.google.com/search/docs/crawling-indexing/sitemaps/overview#do-i-need-a-sitemap
Does this mean we should include all relevant sitemap media types? Three main sitemap media types: video, image and news.
