Beginners-problem with xpath filter and XML

Hello all,
I am building a personal web site in VS2005 as a kind of learing
project for myself, so forgive me if this is a novice question.

I am planning to use an XML file called SiteSettings.xml to hold
site-wide info such as copyright info, site title (e.g. my homepage)
etc. Currently this xml file looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<SiteSettings>
<Settings Name="TitleText">
<value>My homepage</value>
</Settings>
</SiteSettings>

U use a datalist and a xmldatasource to display the data. The
xmldatasource lets me supply an xpath filter to display only the data I
want. As Im planning to expand this xml-file as I add more site
settings, I need an xpath that displays only the correct data. I am
trying to build an xpath that simply returns "My homepage" without the
node name or anything, but I am having a hard time making it work -
either it includes the "value" or simply doesn't show up at all..

If anybody has any inputs to either how to construct my Xpath or maybe
if I should go with another XML structure, I would gratly appreciate
it.
