    Please take a deep breath as WordPress.com provides sitemaps for our blogs automatically. The tutorials on the internet are for WordPress.ORG self hosted installs. They do not apply. http://en.support.wordpress.com/sitemaps/#xml-sitemaps-for-search-engines

    As you are new to WordPress.com I can recommend a comprehensive tutorial. The Learn WordPress.com tutorial is divided into progressive levels and presented as a series: http://learn.wordpress.com/

    All support documentation for free hosted WordPress.com blogs is found here and note that the searchbox there will return results from both the documentation and from forum threads. http://en.support.wordpress.com

    @brummy69: By chance, are these the instructions you were trying to follow?
    http://en.support.wordpress.com/sitemaps/#create-a-site-index

    If the answer is yes, which part do you have trouble with?
    If the answer is no, what is the address of the instructions you were trying to follow?

    @timethief: Thanks for the links. I would like to ask another question, can I add images that are changing on the header of my blog.

    2nd question, i only have one sidebar on the right hand side and i would like another 1 on the left. Would i have to change my theme or is there a way of adding it to my page.

    Thanks

    @brummy69: For the sake of organization, if you have questions unrelated to a sitemap, I suggest you start a separate topic. http://en.forums.wordpress.com/?new=1

    @brummy69
    Creating a site index prior to having your content assigned to Categories and publishing it is not advisable. Until there is one published post in any Category there is no data to display.
