Blogs certainly do have that effect if you can learn to use them properly. The more frequently you post the more frequently search engines crawl it too (I believe).

Sorry I must have missed your post a while back Chub.
Yes I have 2 sitemap plugins for some reason but of course I uploaded them and they just sit there, no idea if I am meant to press something but the google tools thingy says the blog sitemap is verified??!!

The good thing about wordpress blogs is that they have RSS Feeds and Ping built in - so the search engines know about the post immediately - and from there decide how fast to index your post based upon how important they deem your blog to be.
This all happens long before they look at your sitemap - it's one of the reasons why blogging is such a good thing to do
