Breaking (Donna's) shtml sitemap in separate pages

Hi there
Does anyone know how to break an shtml site map into separate pages?
In the Google Webmaster guidelines it states you should do this if your visitors sitemap is longer than 100 or so links.

Hi ibis70,
I don't think there's really any easy way to do this, since you can't keep track of the total amount of links on a page through Article Manager.
While you still wouldn't be able to control the exact amount of results, it would be possible to split up your sitemap files across several publishing rules. You would want to have each one of these rules generate the links for different sets of categories. That's your best bet for creating these pages I think.

Thanks but I guess I will just give a category list for visitors and use the xml list of articles for Google. Mind you, neither is really perfect for SEO issues.

why dont you do the xml file dump like you said? That way google and the other se's would take up to I believe 50,000 links in an xml file. I actually have the same forum on my site and we do a similar thing where we build out 5 xml files, one for each category that just list the urls, and google takes it just fine. I will also do some form of publiscron artman1 build in artman 2 where it will create a list of articles.
