Currently, you can only have one top level item. However, you have two options. First: you can set ShowStartingNode="False" on your SiteMapDataSource and it will ignore the top level node.

Ooh, I didn't know about the ShowStartingNode property. Thanks, I'm at work atm, I'll check it out when I get home.

Thank you for the quick response.

Can Web.Sitemap store non-heirarchial structure?

I want to use the web.sitemap file to store the structure of my site... but I can only seem to create one <siteMapNode url="Default.aspx" title="Home" description=""> and it appears that it must contain some child nodes.

Is there any way to use the web.sitemap file if your site has no heirarchial structure (yet)? I just want to use it to create a menu for my site.

Thanks
