For some reason I can not get google to accept my sitemap. I have a very basic sitemap with just a few links. here is my sitemap

http://digitalsoapbox.com/sitemap.xml

and here are the errors I am getting from google

different domains

Your site at digitalsoapbox.com is attempting to submit urls for www.digitalsoapbox.com. This is invalid. These are considered 2 different domains. We may commonly set them up to be the same and it is a technicality. But, their validation is very strict.

I would try submitting http://www.digitalsoapbox.com/sitemap.xml instead. It won't fail this method of validation.
