Since I built my first website back in 2001, I’ve wanted a visual map of every page of my site and how they each connect. When I found out that sitemaps were a thing, I was so excited to be able to see my whole site’s layout. So, you can imagine my disappointment when I found out that sitemaps were made for robots and geeks.

I’m a visual person; I want to see all the pages, posts, tags, categories, and links on my website in color on a single page. So, since it was pouring rain all day, I figured today was the day to make it happen.

One of the things that kept me from making a visual site map sooner, was not having a good way to make it. I recently discovered Apple’s FreeForm App, however, and it was the perfect app for what I wanted to do. Finding all of the links on my site was a bit trickier. After a long and frustrating search for where to find all of the links on my site, I finally ended up on Google Search Console.

I’m sure someone much more computer savvy than me could write a few lines of code to do what I spent all day doing manually. It could probably even be done with A.I., I don’t know. I work with what I got.

It’s not finished, yet, but when it I’ll post it here.
