    OPERATION KHATAZA — sitemap.xml
    
    This file tells Google and other search engines about every
    page on your site. Submit it in Google Search Console under
    Sitemaps → Add a new sitemap → type "sitemap.xml" and submit.
    
    HOW TO MAINTAIN THIS FILE:
    Every time you add a new page to your site, add a new <url>
    block below following the same pattern.
    
    FIELDS EXPLAINED:
    <loc>         — the full URL of the page
    <lastmod>     — the date you last meaningfully updated it (YYYY-MM-DD)
    <changefreq>  — how often Google should re-crawl it
    <priority>    — relative importance 0.0 to 1.0 (homepage is always 1.0)

        PAGES NOT INCLUDED:
        
        thankyou.html — excluded deliberately. Thank you pages should
        not be indexed by Google. They exist only as a post-form
        destination and have no value as a search result.
        
        HOW TO ADD A NEW PAGE:
        Copy and paste one of the <url> blocks above and update
        the <loc>, <lastmod>, and <priority> values accordingly.
        
        Example priority guidelines:
        1.0 — homepage only
        0.9 — discography, major content pages
        0.8 — links, about
        0.7 — mailing list, lyrics index
        0.6 — individual song pages, transmissions
        0.5 — utility pages
