   BlogRush told me that my "feed has an invalid format(parse error: no posts in feed)" but I entered my feed url in my browser and it showed up just fine.

   Can anyone please explain this to me?

   Thanks
   Tony

   The links on the feed page are working. I tried to add my feed to my Yahoo page but yahoo didn't recognize the feed as valid either.
   I'm so confused.

   Again, can you give us a link to the feed, so we can see firsthand what the problem is, if any.

   I was able to get your feed, but it took a while (15-20 seconds). Though, your main site as well as the blog come up fairly quickly, so this seems like something isolated to when WP queries for the feed.

   One possible cause is a corrupted database. Take a look at this post on checking for database "overhead" and optimizing the database. Make sure you back up your database.

   Also, I manually checked the code of your feed at W3's validator: http://validator.w3.org/feed/. That validated with no problems and there's no extra lines at the top, so the feed, once it's generated, is okay.
