      I want to make viewable the xml sitemap I created with the xml tool. However I am not sure that if I throw in html code to make it look nice if it will interfere with the site map. Should I just use the xml with google and submit it there then have a separate stiemap.html that is viewable on my site? Or will two sitemaps complicate things?

        2 separate things. Don't mess with the sitemap.xml, its for spiders not people

          Thanks for the response I had an idea that would be the answer.
