Redesigned a site : Should I resubmit to the Search Engines?

[Draeger]

Updated a website of mine, its changed almost completely content and structure wise.

So should I resubmit it to all the major search engines again now?. Or will the bots just crawl it as normal and note all the new content?.

Also, Will I need to generate a new sitemap.xml for it ( I'm guessing yeah )?.

Cheers.

don't need to resubmit imo, if you're already on the SEs

sitemap, again imo, is only good if you have big sites, for example product ecommerce - a simple 10 page site with good navigation shouldn't need a sitemap.
