Hi again! I managed to build the sitemap page as suggested and is working allright :-). It is build dinamically at http://mydomain/roller/weblog/page/sitemap.xml
Now I just wonder whether is possible to make it visible at http://mydomain/roller/sitemap.xml since standard specifications require sitemaps to be located at the highest level within the folder tree.
