I will set up the cron job with the python script. By the way I am sure you must be aware that Google has come up with this new version of site-map generator that requires root permission, setting up apace etc but unfortunately for people with shared hosting, that does not help. keep up the good work :) Graham,

Just because they don't appear in your sitemap does not mean they won't appear in search results. Google builds the XML file to best suit the way they list your pages. Can't get a much more Google friendly XML sitemap than one created by Google. Bing has taken a slice where Yahoo, Alta Vista etc couldn't but I still find a good Google listing filters down to a good listing in all major search engines.
