HELP!!! I have set up my google base acct. Followed #34 in the tutorials

went to google to manually install data feed .xml Disapproved Then I received this e-mail--- It's all Greek to Me.
Was I suppose to change something on my site map? or is it in the wrong place? I have been at this problem for 2 days trying to figure it out.
I'm not very experienced at this. If there is a resolution please I need a step by step instruction. For You people this maybe simple for me!! A Challenge. THANKS


Hello,
It looks like you've sent us a file in a format that Google Base does not
support: Google Sitemap. Our system is currently able to accommodate only
tab-delimited text (.txt) and four types of XML (.xml) files. You can also
submit a .zip or .gz compressed version of the above formats. Please read
the following for detailed information on the file types we will accept:

http://base.google.com/base/format.html

Please resubmit your data feed after you've saved it in one of our
supported formats. We'll notify you if we need you to make any additional
formatting corrections.

You have submitted your site map in a file extension which is not acceptable to Google.

Google Sitemap. Our system is currently able to accommodate only
tab-delimited text (.txt) and four types of XML (.xml) files. You can also
submit a .zip or .gz compressed version of the above formats

This is what Google want you to do.

Please resubmit your data feed after you've saved it in one of our

The file formats are .txt [microsoft wordpad] or .xml
