Not to compete against Edward Garana (for it was his comment that gave me the a-ha moment), I give you “Lazy Sitemap Generator.”

I also wanted to use Excel to develop a sitemap that contained more than two levels deep. I also couldn’t figure out how to modify Stephen Turbek’s wonderful Excel formulas to accommodate the extra columns. So I decided to develop something on my own.

LazySitemapGenerator (Turbek, I hope you are ok with this name) uses both Excel formulas and a single macro to produce a worksheet than can exported from Excel and imported into Visio. In my example, I built a sitemap that goes seven-levels deep. You could easily modify my Excel file to add even more columns.

My website documents the procedure in 20 steps, includes screen shots, and contains a link the the .ZIP file you may download to try out on your own.

This article and Stephen Turbek’s 2006 article entitled “The Lazy IA’s Guide to Making Sitemaps” inspired me to develop “Lazy Sitemap Generator.”
