   Having trouble with my RSS feed.

   Error reads:

   XML Parsing Error: xml declaration not at start of external entity
   Location: http://site.modmama.com/modblog/?feed=rss2
   Line Number 2, Column 1:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
   ^

   Looked for extra spaces in the code at wp-rss2.php and a few other files suggested, deactivated all plugins, but still no help. Any thoughts?

   Thanks!

   Rachel

   I think it is most likely the redirect.

   Sorry, not a redirect.

   Your rss code starts at line 2. It need to start at line 1 so there is a space somewhere. This <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> has to be on line 1.
