Google Video on find out how to block CSS information, refresh sitemaps, delete RSS, and extra

Google’s John Mueller posted a two-minute video that answers four SEO-related questions about blocking CSS files, updating a sitemap, deleting RSS files, and getting a website back into Google search. Most of them are pretty straightforward SEO questions, so I think that’s why he answered them all in about two minutes.

Here is the video:

Here are the four questions:

(1) Can blocking CSS files in robots.txt cause problems?

(2) How should I update the sitemap for my website? Is there a step by step guide?

(3) What’s the right way to get a website back on Google?

(4) Does it help to delete the RSS feeds so that Googlebot can more easily crawl the pages?

Just for info, Google told us not to block the CSS / JS files from the Googlebot almost ten years now.
