    How-do-you-do, just needed you to know I have added your site to my Google bookmarks because of your extraordinary blog layout. But seriously, I think your site has one of the freshest theme I've came across. It really helps make reading your blog a lot easier.

    I get a red x after I submit the code. This is the message:

    "Your Sitemap appears to be an HTML page. Please use a supported sitemap format instead"

    Does it make a difference if I use feedburner? I get this message when I submit the code: rss.xml?max-results=500&start-index=1 as my google sitemap.

    I have also tried: rss.xml?redirect=false&start-index=1&max-results=500 as suggested by another website, and atom instead of rss – all with the same error message, my sitemap is an html page.

    Any suggestions?
