Hi Steve,
Much thanks, appreciate your contribution. So far I have tried 3 ways:

I have tried the Arcmap2SLD http://www.cadmaps.com/gisblog/?p=75  but I ran
into the error;
*"Could not load file or assembly 'ESRI.ArcGIS.Framework,Version=9.2.0.1324,
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=8fc3cc631e44ad86' or one of its
dependencies." the system cannot find the file specified.*
* *
So I tried something else which seems to work Arc2Earth
http://help.arc2earth.com/kb/arc2earth-desktop/export-map-symbols-to-styled-layer-descriptor-sld.
I also found out that uDig might come in handy http://udig.refractions.net/.

The other option is GeoExt styler extension but am still having problems
with this, its legend panel does not show anything and it works halfway on
internet explorer and not at all on google chrome still trying to figure out
why.
