Google's Webmaster Tools

[Inviting Ways]

I apologize if my questions (below) don't make sense. I've been sitting in front of this computer for wayyyyyy too long tonight.

I went into my Webmaster Tools account with Google and noticed that my sitemap had errors. The explanation I could find is:

1 Paths don't match
We've detected that you submitted your Sitemap using a URL path that doesn't include the www prefix (for instance, http://example.com/sitemap.xml). However, the URLs listed inside your Sitemap do use the www prefix (for instance, http://www.example.com/myfile.htm). Help

Do I need to have two different URL's under Google's Webmaster Tools, one with the "www." and one without? That seems like kind of a pain. Sometimes people are going to use the "www." when creating links to my site, but sometimes they won't. I don't think I'll be able to control that completely.

Then I noticed my site had no inbound links. I know of at least one (it's a new site, I haven't quite worked on this part yet). Is it because the link that points to my site uses "www." and my Google Webmasters account is under the URL without the "www."

I guess what I'm asking is do I need to set up two different URL's with Google's Webmaster Tools, ie:

www.invitingwaysonline.com
invitingwaysonline.com

Thanks in advance. I'm still a newbie to all this and the learning curve is much larger than I expected.

I think there is a way in the dashboard to set a preference for your website url. You can choose with/without www
