 * Hello,
 * Can you help me figure out how to change the description that is included in 
   the articles that go to the XML?
 * In other words, what I want is to include the excerpt that I create in each post
   and only if this excerpt does not exist the plugin places the first paragraph.
 * Any idea?

 * Please correct me if I’m wrong but I don’t think Google supports a `<description
   >` tag in their XML sitemap file.
