  sitemap.xml — Bedune
  =====================================================================
  A sitemap tells search engines (Google, Bing, etc.) which pages
  exist on this site and how often they change. Without a sitemap,
  search engines still find your pages eventually, but a sitemap
  makes indexing faster and more reliable.

  HOW IT WORKS:
  - <url> = one entry per page
  - <loc> = the full URL of that page
  - <changefreq> = how often this page changes (hint for crawlers)
  - <priority> = relative importance 0.0–1.0 (only hints, not binding)

  MAINTENANCE: Add a new <url> block whenever you add a new page.
  Update <lastmod> when you significantly change a page.

  DEPLOY: This file must be accessible at https://bedune.com/sitemap.xml
  Submit it to Google Search Console after deploying to Cranl.
