 * Having trouble generating a sitemap.
 * I had to create the sitemap_index.xml by hand and now when I go to the URL with
   the sitemap: [http://mysite.com/sitemap_index.xml](http://mysite.com/sitemap_index.xml)
   I get a message that:
 * This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it.
   The document tree is shown below.

 * A real URL would be better just to see the real page, but anyway I can tell that
   that is not an error message, and I believe that your sitemap is created and 
   readable by robots – robots doesn’t care about style. You can check your sitemaps
   with Google webmaster tool.
