Try disabling all active plugins and check the validation again.

My site is at http://www.sooz.com and my WP1.5.2 installation is at http://www.sooz.com/wordpress
I opened the wp-rss2.php file and took out any blank lines. It didn’t help.
I’m confused how this is now a problem all of a sudden. 🙁

Can you post the top of your wp-rss2.php file here? the actual php file, not the output from your browser.

Yeah, I disabled all my plugins. Fun! (not) It’s still not working. FWIW: I haven’t added any new plugins in a couple weeks.

Never mind, I see your problem now. You have a blank line at the top of your theme’s Header Template (header.php). Remove that blank line and your feed should be fine.
Hey macmanx, I know you’re just trying to help, but repeating your comments verbatim is patronizing and annoying. Please don’t.

Braindwidth: When you say “top of your wp-rss2.php” file … how much of the file is the top? Ah nothing quite like feeling like an idiot. (More fun.)

I removed all the blank lines on header.php … doesn’t seem to have helped, alas.
Just down to where it says <channel>

Sooz, when you go to your blog and view source, you’ll see a blank line at the top. This is the problem that you are seeing reflected in your RSS feed. If it’s not in the header template, then it’s in a related file. Try both index.php files and wp-blog-header.php. The blank line will be only at the top of one of the files.

Brainwidth: I posted the info. Thanks for checking it out.
macmanx: I’ll give that a try again. Thanks!

Unfortunately I can’t find the file where the blank line is it. It’s not in index.php or wp-blog-header.php …. I guess if nothing else I’ll delete everything and reinstall. But damn that would suck. 🙁
