Hi there,

Not having a sitemap should not keep your website from being indexed although a sitemap is a good way to tell search engines (not just Yahoo) what are the most important pages on your website and often they should be crawled.

Try the following sitemap generator, it works pretty good for my own sites. Once your xml file is generated, you can then open it with a text editor and see what it looks like. At that point, I'm sure you will figure out how to add new pages without having to use the online tool again.

Good luck.

Frank

Have you tried using Yahoo Site Explorer to see how many of your pages are indexed?

How many pages does your site have? Franks link is good up to 500 pages. http://www.sitemapspal.com/ works up to 2000.

Having a sitemap doesn't guarantee your site will be indexed, it only aids in the discoverability of your pages.

Here is the official sitemap protocol: http://www.sitemaps.org/protocol.php
