    I am unable to burn a feed at Feedburner.

    When I type in my blog feed http://www.mcdowellcrook.com/blog/feed/ I get this message:

    "The URL does not appear to reference a valid XML file. We encountered the following problem: Error on line 2: The processing instruction target matching "[xX][mM][lL]" is not allowed."

    What gives? I can reed this feed fine in Google Reader!

    Thanks in advance for your input.

    Your feed is invalid. It has a single blank line at the top. try:

    - deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).

    - switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.

    Thanks, I found the problem! One of my themes was borking everything.
