    If you go to the bottom... the "Post RSS" feed is broken...

    Did you edit the wp-rss2.php file ever?
    Try to upload a fresh copy of it.

    What would cause that? And where would I fix it?

    I checked my header.php and it shows correct formatting.

    Obviously it is NOT correct formatting (whatever you think that is).
    Check the Show source box and that validator page and click Revalidate. Every error line will become a clickable link showing the exact location of the error.

    I did and the errors are not there... Look for yourself.

    O and I design websites as my job so I do know what formatting is... I came here to get support not to get mocked.

    Well, they are.
    You should read the error descriptions, too. Usually they provide a way to correct them.

    And let's not argue about what the validator says. You either correct the errors or not - it's your choice. But the errors are there as shown.

    Now, if you have difficulties correcting them, ask for help but don't say the errors are not there.
    The very first error says Line 8 - the meta tag is NOT closed, and it shows the end of the line where you should work on it. In XHTML tags that don't have a closing "pair" should end with /> with a space before them. You have only >
    etc.

    Hmmm... You should ask back the tuition money!

    Returning to the original topic...

    I see an initial blank or empty line is being added to all your documents (feeds as well as regular blog pages). Since this can invalidate a syndication feed (which requires a specific format of <?xml ... etc. on the very first line) I'd look at what plugins you're running and see if any of those are inserting this line.

    FYI...

    I discovered that an old version of Role Manager was creating the empty line at the top of my feeds.

    If you can't find it (or want the RSS fixed while you troubleshoot) there is a possible temporary fix here:
