I will check when I get back in. Do you have the latest version of sitemap?

Can you try not including tags and categories and see what happens? I am trying to check your sitemap, but it is so big, it is hard to search through.
The header looks normal though so it must be in the content

The sitemap is not formatted properly .... Looks like a namespace missing or an element out of place and plus media type not specified..

Sitemap should be formatted as such

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">
<url>
<loc>https://www.mysite.com/</loc>
<lastmod>2010-06-09</lastmod>
<changefreq>weekly</changefreq>
<priority>0.5</priority>
</url>
<url>
<loc>https://www.mysite.com/Article_Marketing_For_Website_Traffic_Generation-1419</loc>
<lastmod>2010-06-09</lastmod>
<changefreq>weekly</changefreq>
<priority>0.5</priority>
</url>

Instead it is

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><urlset xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9 http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9/sitemap.xsd" xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9"><url><loc>http://www.mysite.com/</loc><changefreq>daily</changefreq><priority>1.0</priority></url><url><loc>http://www.mysite.com/article-marketing/article-marketing-services/</loc><lastmod>2010-05-29T03:54:01-05:00</lastmod><changefreq>daily</changefreq><priority>0.5</priority></url>

I think the link to validator.w3.org/feed/check is for RSS feeds not for xml sitemaps

You might try this one or better still submit it manually to google webmaster tools

[James Stein]

It is for RSS you're right ... but it also does check the xml.. The sitemaps do come out not formatted properly ...

removing the tags and catagories fixes the problem im going to update to 0.8 and report back

[baadier]

Ive upgraded to 0.8 and it still doesnt work for me with tags, i get the same error message as before. When i generate the sitemap,additionally i get a batch of the xml displayed on the settings page. specifically from the catagories.
