# MarkFord.net — combined robots policy for WP + archive subapp.
#
# Lives at the site root because crawlers only check /robots.txt
# (subdirectory robots files are ignored). The Sitemap line below
# advertises the archive's dynamic sitemap; submit the same URL in
# Google Search Console after deploy.
