Thanks Eric, I'll take a look at that tomorrow and see what I can find out. I did post on the wordpress.org forums to hopefully get an answer there as to what to do with those pages.
here's an example of one of the non wordpress links that the "layout" folder doesn't exist on my site nor do I ever recall it being there, unless like I said, some module or plugin installed it (maybe theme or something? dunno):

There's a few others, and of course the ones I told you about from xmas time that I was using as testers that haven't been there for months. I have these all redirected in the cPanel, but Google isn't seeing that they are redirected I guess. Hopefully dave is right and it just needs time to catch up or something lol.

well, please don't get upset. Do some little changes, let it rest a week and see if the google bot is seeing the right stuff. The bot may have some things in cache and it may take time to clear.
I would bet that your database file is probably ok from the URLs the sitemapper found.
I think your site is very nicely done, better than many I have looked at. The sitemapper does a clean crawl and that says a lot.
The blog paths 'should' be search engine friendly, clean rather than un-clean.
I'll do that dave, give it a rest and I'll still work on the keywords stuff as I'm still having some fun messing around with that now. No worries, I get frustrated but it passes eventually lol.
Thanks very much for the comments on the site. I am planning to do something more with the background, I just haven't decided what yet and trying to decide how to set that up so will be a while, but I like it how it's at for now so the comments are most appreciated.
I am still trying to figure out the sitemap structure problem though if anyone has any ideas on if there's really a problem there or not. It's extremely differently structured than it was prior to a few days ago and that one was pretty broken structured. now it's almost all connected but just a bit isn't. Does that matter ? If not then I won't even worry about it, but I'm wondering if whatever is causing that is also what caused the Google crawl to go from 66 indexed to 16? That 66 turned to 16 about 20 to 30 min. after I submitted the site map so I'm assuming it's connected, but I dunno.
