 * Hi
 * I installed your plugin. When I submitted the sitemap to Webmaster (which as 
   I understand it is your website followed by /sitemap.xml I received the following
   error:
 * Warnings
    Invalid XML: too many tags Too many tags describing this tag. Please
   fix it and resubmit. 7 Parent tag: channel Tag: feedFlare 14
 * Thanks for your help!

 * Hi yaels, those tags are not present in my plugin. It looks like you either need
   to delete any existing static file called sitemap.xml from your site root or 
   you are maybe using some kind of CDN service (feedflare?) that is interfering
   here… Can you share a link to your site?
