 * The error message I get for the site build of my blog on the SOE plugin for my
   blog:
 * ‘There was a problem writing your sitemap file. Make sure the file exists and
   is writable.
    There was a problem writing your zipped sitemap file. Make sure
   the file exists and is writable’
 * I am not a programmer – what do I do?
