Fix indexing bug (#1232)

* This weeks newsletter

* Enhance metadata and sitemap configuration

- Updated layout metadata to include title, description, and Open Graph properties for better SEO.
- Added '/api/og' to the robots.txt file to allow crawling.
- Refactored sitemap generation to filter out '/api/og' routes and renamed variable for clarity.
