Search Console (codeuctivity.cloud) reports 36 URLs as "Discovered – currently not indexed", mostly /blog/tags/*, /blog/archive, /blog/authors. These pages only list posts, so this PR leaves them out of the sitemap via the classic preset's sitemap.ignorePatterns.

It also removes the Docusaurus template leftovers (/docs/tutorial-*, /docs/intro, /markdown-page/), turns the docs plugin off and drops the commented-out tutorial link on the home page.

Verified with npm run build and tsc --noEmit: the sitemap now holds only the home page, /blog/ and the blog posts.

Not fixable here:

  • https://www.codeuctivity.cloud/ doesn't load (Google reports 404). A DNS CNAME www → codeuctivity.github.io record lets GitHub Pages redirect www to the apex domain.
  • Google picked https://codeuctivity.github.io/ as canonical for the home page (crawl from 20 Oct). github.io now redirects to codeuctivity.cloud; indexing was re-requested.

…temap

Search Console lists 36 "Discovered - currently not indexed" URLs on
codeuctivity.cloud, mostly /blog/tags/*, /blog/archive and /blog/authors.
They only list posts, so leave them out of the sitemap.

The tutorial docs and /markdown-page/ were leftovers from the Docusaurus
template, so remove them and turn the docs plugin off.
