<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<rss version="2.0" xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/">

Dim root = New XElement("item")
    Dim title = New XElement("title", New XCData(TextBox3.Text))
    Dim link = New XElement("link", TextBox6.Text)
    Dim pubDate = New XElement("pubDate", DateTime.Now.ToString("yyy/MM/dd HH:mm"))
    Dim description = New XElement("description", New XCData(TextBox5.Text))
    Dim thumbnail = New XElement("media.thumbnail",
                                  New XAttribute("url", "http://karary-001-site1.htempurl.com/files/" + attac1 + "?itok=YdFLolAU"),
                                  New XAttribute("height", 266),

You're currently adding it to the document's root element, which in this case is <rss />. Instead you want to add it to the root element's first element:

document.Root.Elements.First().Add(root)
