A complete novice, I am trying to creep up the google ranking by hopefully adding a sitemap created by xml-sitemap generator. I submitted to Google but they have issued a warning-
All the URLs in your Sitemap have the same priority.All the URLs in your Sitemap are set to the same priority . Priority indicates the importance of a particular URL relative to other URLs on your site, and doesn't impact your site's performance in search results. If all URLs have the same priority, Google can't tell which are more important.
Our website is [ External links are visible to forum administrators only ]
sitemap as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <urlset xmlns="[ External links are visible to forum administrators only ]" xmlns:xsi="[ External links are visible to forum administrators only ]" xsi:schemaLocation="[ External links are visible to forum administrators only ] [ External links are visible to forum administrators only ]">

Grateful for any assistance.
I also have short meta description warnings which I need to address. Do I have to re-submit the site map everytime I make changes?
Many thanks.
