Correct Meta Tag to use in header to refer to your sitemap.xml file?

I read somewhere that you should have some sort of Meta Tag in the Head portion of your webpage which refers to the location of your sitemap.xml file for use by the search engines?

I found this on another site:

<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="ROR" href="ror.xml" />

How do you change the example shown above to a properly formatted Meta Tag for use with a sitemap.xml file made by [ External links are visible to forum administrators only ]?

Thanks.

You don't need to add a meta tag to tell search engines the location of your sitemap.

Just add this line to your robots.txt file

Sitemap: http://www.mysite.com/sitemap.xml
