    What exactly did you add as the sitemap? Make sure to only add the sitemap like this:
    http://www.bluebeardimagery.com/sitemap-index.xml

    After adding it, it may take a while for Google to actually index it.

    The crawl error you included is something you can ignore. Google is not supposed to access the /include/ path and therefore it's normal for an error to be returned if they still try.

    I wouldn't worry about that either. I'd focus on the actual content on your site, adding keywords, captions and getting your content featured on other sites and blogs. If you don't have your own blog yet, start one where you embed / highlight some of your work. For additional suggestions, check out the SmugMug SEO article.
