15.Select General Web Sitemap on the drop down list.

16.Enter the url of you sitemap. Eg.

Tips
It's a good idea to check your site for broken link before you make a sitemap. You can do this online here: http://validator.w3.org/checklink

Warnings
Make sure you haven't linked to any admin or password protected pages in your site. If you have, they will be included in the sitemap, so make sure you get rid of them first.
