Hi,

I am fairly new to XML so this may be something basic I have done wrong.

I am creating a sitemap in xml for a customer's site but I am having problems with a parser error where google webmaster central can't read the file.

I have validated the XML at Validome and I get this error message:
Error (1)
File name: sitemap.xml
Error: Prefix "image" for element "image:image" is not bound.
Error Postion: <image:image>

Here is an example section of my code: (I have replaced the domain witha generic name for privacy)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<urlset
xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9 [sitemaps.org...]
<url>
<loc>http://www.example.com/index.html</loc>
<lastmod>2011-04-15T11:37:04+00:00</lastmod>
<changefreq>monthly</changefreq>
<priority>0.80</priority>
<image:image>
<image:loc>http://www.example.com/images/map.gif</image:loc>
<image:caption>Location Map</image:caption>
<image:title>Map</image:title>
</image:image>
</url>
</urlset>

Any help would be much appreciated
