   All the feeds on our blog are generating this error:
   

   XML Parsing Error: xml declaration not at start of external entity
   Location: http://blog.webspirited.com/feed/
   Line Number 3, Column 1:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

   This is because there are 2 empty lines before the <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> tag at the start of the RSS document but I don't know what page generates the RSS so I can't have a go at fixing it myself.

   Can anyone help fix this problem?

   It can be in a lot of places (I mean the empty lines)
   - the theme's functions.php
   - a plugin file
   - the short and sweet index file (in the root)

   Hmm...the entries rss seems to have fixed itself after the latest blog entry, but the comments rss still has empty spaces.

   To continue what Moshu already said...

   Go through the mentioned files (and wp-config.php). In each file make sure that there's in nothing before the opening <?php and nothing after the final ?>. No spaces. No blank lines.
