  CORRECTED sitemap.xml — replaces d:\public_html\sitemap.xml

  WHAT CHANGED AND WHY:
  1. REMOVED all six /blogs/... URLs. That directory does not exist on the
     server, so every one of them returns 404. Submitting known-404 URLs in
     a sitemap is a direct trust hit in Search Console ("Submitted URL not
     found"). Real posts now live in WordPress at /blog/ and are covered by
     the separate WordPress sitemap listed in robots.txt.
  2. Removed <changefreq> and <priority>. Google has publicly ignored both
     since 2023; they are noise, not signal.
  3. lastmod values must be REAL dates. Update them whenever a page changes;
     a lastmod that never matches reality gets discounted.
  4. Switched to clean, extensionless URLs (/about, not /about.html) to match
     the canonical tags on the pages themselves. The blog listing moved from
     /blog.html to /insights, because /blog/ is the WordPress directory and
     could never have served the static listing. .htaccess 301s every old
     .html URL to its new form.
