 * Hi,
 * Below is the status of my site map:
 * There was a problem writing your sitemap file. Make sure the file exists and 
   is writable.
 * What seems to be wrong! Any fast way how to fix it?
 * Cheers,
    Jennifer

 * Hi,
 * This is the problem i don’t know much about it. I know html but not php. What
   do you mean by that? i am so sorry for being ignorant i guess i have to find 
   a way to really get to know wordpress.
 * Can you give more info about this. Or maybe some steps to take and where to look
   if its writeable.
 * Thanks
    Jennifer

 * use your [ftp client](http://codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Clients) to look at your
   site. The sitemap needs to be writeable – chmod 666 to update.
