[support] Big problem with Sitemap - solved

[Waprothero@gmail.com]

Ernie,
Thanks for the info on the correct procedures. Since I had no update notification for xmlsitemap, I thought I was at the latest version in D6. So, once I upgraded, it wasn't until I decided to activate xmlsitemap that I started getting into trouble. For someone who only occasionally needs to do Drupal work, the system does seem pretty finicky and there are so many ways to do things that a load of time can be wasted. But, I know that's the strength of drupal, to be able to do so many things.

I do appreciate the help I get from the community.

Best,
Bill
