HI

I have generated a sitemap [ External links are visible to forum administrators only ] and when submitted to google for indexing at [ External links are visible to forum administrators only ] it gives me the following error

Sitemap is HTML
Your Sitemap appears to be an HTML page. Please use a supported sitemap format instead.    
Tag: html
Problem detected on: Jan 2, 2012

Pls help me generate a sitemap which google can index

Hello,

your sitemap looks ok. Can you attach a screenshot form webmaster account showing the error?
