    You are placing your sitemap into the /sitemaps/ folder, but it contains links from outside the /sitemaps/ folder.

    This is not allowed by the sitemap protocol (sitemaps.org).

    The only way this can work is if you use the robots.txt file to submit it.

    Sitemap: http://www.loverofsadness.com/sitemaps/tag_movie.xml

    Using robots.txt, you place the sitemap in the 'wrong' folder or even on another website and it will be accepted.

    There are several online tools available for sitemap validation. Validate your generated sitemap to check for errors or fulfilling the sitemap protocol standard. Upload it into the root directory.

    There are three kinds of sitemap formats available. Among those which type of sitemap format is you are using?

    All your priority values are set to 0.8 generally google don't like to see all priority values in a sitemap the same. Some should perhaps be 0.8, 0.75, 0.7, 0.65, 0.5, etc...etc. Usually have the same values for priority tag can cause errors in webmaster tools. Try lowering a couple but make sure they are a mixture of numbers.

    You can use hosting service to make your sitemap or just use xml sitemap generator plugin when your site built by wordpress. Its very easy and simple

    You can read about priority values in XML sitemaps. Its pointless to give same value to all, better to leave it out then! But best is of course to give appropriate values to all :)

    Your sitemap is fine and properly coded. What error are you getting exactly?
