    On the widget where my RSS feed shows it says:

    RSS Error: A feed could not be found at http://feeds.feedburner.com/SourceForStrong. A feed with an invalid mime type may fall victim to this error, or SimplePie was unable to auto-discover it.. Use force_feed() if you are certain this URL is a real feed.

    I tried to get my feed on Feedburner and it said:

    The URL does not appear to reference a valid XML file. We encountered the following problem: Error on line 2: Element type “meta” must be followed by either attribute specifications, “>” or “/>”.

    How can I fix this?

    Please, don’t bump your own threads like that. Many of us look for threads with no replies first, so when you bump your own thread, it takes us much longer to find you.

    First of all, this is at the top of your actual feed, and shouldn’t be there:

    <meta name='google-site-verification' content= '68524102807a5442'

    Via: http://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fsourceforstrong.com%2Ffeed%2F

    Either a plugin or theme is adding that (and possibly also the cause of your second problem). Try deactivating all plugins. If that resolves the issue, reactivate each one individually until you find the cause.

    If that does not resolve the issue, try switching to the Twenty Fourteen theme to rule-out a theme-specific issue (theme functions can interfere like plugins).
