I just uploaded my revamped website at www.karipost.com
I want to make the site very searchable in Google, Yahoo, and other search engines. I have included metadata and keywords, but I'm having trouble generating an XML sitemap. My website has a lot of content so I'm looking for a free service that can do more than 500 pages. Thanks!!!

There are a few services that do this, but in my experience aren't the greatest to work with. Check out phpSitemapNG...its basically a php web crawler you upload to your site, run it, and it will generate an XML sitemap for you.

Kari,
I generated a sitemap for my site using XML-Sitemaps.com
I don't know if it's the best and oh, the max is 500pages.
I think once you have the sitemap created, it would be easy enough to add the few additional pages. Now I'm no SEO expert by any stretch, but I would think you would only need to go as deep as your main gallery headings. Seems like a ton of extra work to have every single html page indexed. Just make sure all your main keywords are included in each main gallery page.
