If you keep it up to date then so much the better and your newer pages may be updated quicker and your entire site may be updated more frequently. If you upload your initial sitemap and then never update it again you won't be penalized if you add more pages to your site. The search engines want help or guidance from you in the form of a sitemap, but the SEs will inevitably base your index of pages on their spider crawl. Don't put to much thought into this, just be aware it is another tool, one of many at your disposal. And that this tool requires so little effort it seems a wasted opportunity not to create a sitemap. Sitemaps are what you make of them.

The fear of it being out of date comes from comments I've read around the web regarding the automatic sitemap generators for wordpress. Any thoughts?
