There are plugins for both that can take care of making a site map for them. You then can submit them separately or use a master sitemap to submit them together.

Thanks for your reply.
What is the best? xx sitemaps or a master sitemap?
How to make a Master sitemap?

Go to sitemaps.org and follow their instructions for a master sitemap. I don't believe it is difficult at all.

There is no real difference between the two as far as I know. I guess a master sitemap might be better as it keeps everything clearly under one sitemap.
