    Everytime I try and click my RSS feed (and i've tried the 4 options listed in the codex) I get this error:

    Safari can’t open the page “feed://anempireoffilth.com/thepalehorse/?feed=rss2”. The error was: “unknown error” (NSURLErrorDomain:-1) Please choose Report Bug to Apple from the Safari menu, note the error number, and describe what you did before you saw this message

    Anyone know why? My address is: http://anempireoffilth.com/thepalehorse/

    You either have an empty space at the beginning of your rss2 file (unlikely) or a plugin is causing that.
    Disable all your plugins and try your feeds.
    Activate your plugins one by one until ou find the culprit.

    No luck.. I only have two plugins: My page order, My link order. I edited my last post to include my blog address (sorry 'bout that) but here it is just in case.. http://anempireoffilth.com/thepalehorse/

    I saw it, I found it. And in FireFox it says clearly you have an issue with the white/blanks space at the beginning of your feed:
    XML Parsing Error: xml declaration not at start of external entity
    Location: http://anempireoffilth.com/thepalehorse/?feed=rss2
    Line Number 2, Column 1:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

    Ok, so what do I need to edit to fix that? (sorry, not 100% fluent with all this, still learning)

    That usually means that at the beginning of the file (or of a plugin file) there is an empty/blanks space before the first
    <?php
    (in this case I'd bet there is a whole empty line)
    So, did you deactiavte both plugins and tried to see your feeds?

    Did you try to open/edit any rss related file while troubleshooting? Make sure they don't have any empty space at the beginning.

    Well, none of the four RSS related files had a blank space before the php. I deactivated the plugins before and it didn't change anything. I also checked any related theme files, none of them had a space before the php either. i'm stumped on the advice so far =/ (although quite grateful for it)

    view the source of your actual blog -- the space is there also. Its so pronounced it actually produces a text cursor in forefox.

    You need to be looking through file after file.

    The "short and sweet" index? in the WP root?

    I didn't think to look in the WP root, as I hadn't edited any file there. I went through everything in that folder and the PHP all started at the top with no spaces. I deleted the little "short and sweet" thing, which i didn't even know existed, but it's still not working. Whooami, which file would I edit to delete the space at the very top? I couldn't find it.

    All plugin files.
    Your theme's function.php (if exists)
    wp-config.php

    I deactivated all my plugins.. nothing. I removed all my plugins.. nothing. Function.php just says

    "<?php
    if ( function_exists('register_sidebars') )
    register_sidebars(2);
    ?>"

    with no spaces and my wp-config has no spaces either. I have no idea what to do..
