Sitemap validator, cannot find the error

Hi,

I submitted one of my site and google returned “Unsupported file format”.
So I removed just about everything and left

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<urlset xmlns="http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap/0.84">
<url>
<loc>http://www.journalhome.com/ </loc>
</url>
</urlset>

Code (markup):

But I still get “Unsupported file format”, what could I be doing wrong?

The file is saved using the UNIX format and UTF-8.

Sorry, my bad the .htaccess was redirecting to the 404 file.

Try one of the free Google site map creators. Personally I like this one: http://www.colizer.com/online-sitemap-generator.php as it also checks for broken links.

 

Thanks, but I have a script to create my own sitemap. That way I can limit the amount of useless URL that users might enter incorrectly.
