   I have been publishing to iTunes fine, but when I go to validate the feed through feedvalidator.org I get errors.

   Feed - http://jasonwinn.com/?feed=podcast

   1.Invalid character in a URI:
   ... on’t have to wait too long.</p>]]></content:encoded>

   2. content:encoded should not contain relative URL references: /images/Tanked-Logo.jpg

   ... in 2 to 3 weeks for Tanked Act 2!</p>]]></content:encoded>

   Any help would be much appreciated.

   Hello Jason,

   the full error message is

   This feed does not validate.
   line 72, column 474: Invalid character in a URI: /images/Blackbirds Ball01.jpg

   and the further description says

   The specified value contains a character which is not valid in a URI.

   The problem here is that the file name of this picture has a white space in its file name. That is okay on your computer almost regardless of the OS on that machine but it is recommended to avoid white spaces and non-ASCII characters in names of files which are designated for usage in the Internet.

   If you replace the white space in the file with a underscore character then the problem will vanish.

   Regards,
   Tim
