seeking sitemap help

well, i've tried to generate sitemaps in every way form and function
for my site. when the map is generated by software, a ton of the links
do not function. i'm to the point where i'd almost consider just
doiing all of this manually..

in its most basic form, what is the code that needs to be associated
with a sitemap?

i plug all this info into an html software used to run my website. as i
mentioned its an ASP site.

thanks alot for your help.

i just need someone to say to me.. listen, this is what you do for
every single one of your pages, and supply the code.

thanks.

You're looking for consultancy, it is not for free.

listen, this is what you do for every single one of your pages.

links & descriptions?

Does the file/directory structure have any relationship to the link
structure? If so you could do this in software (server-side)

Have you tried your favourite search engine? there must be tons of apps
kicking around that will query a remote site for interal links.

Just to be absolutely pernickety,
it is better I think not to include in the sitemap a URL like
http://yourdomain.com/index.html
when you include the URL
http://yourdomain.com/
because they point to the same page.

Also, there is a new namespace and header for the sitemap,
see sitemaps.org
and the sitemap now is accepted not only
by Google, but also by Yahoo, and soon presumably by MSN, so
<urlset xmlns="http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap/0.84">
becomes
<urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">
and you can use the full header if you want
to check the sitemap with XML validators

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<urlset xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9
http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/09/sitemap.xsd"
xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">
