   Please help me here I am ready to abandon the whole thing!

   I installed PodPress. Works great. BUT, when the plugin is enabled, I get bad RSS2 feed. It does not show in IE at all. I used feedvalidator and you can see the result here:

   http://www.feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fblog.snobpc.eu%2F%3Ffeed%3Drss2

   This brakes when I enable the plugin. When disabled the feed validates. What can I do??

   Have you contacted the plugin author? He's very active in its development, and may have a support forum as well.

   Yap, I have posted on the forum but no answer 2 days now...
   I also tried to contact the author by mail but it does not work...

   In my quest to find the problem, I disabled ALL my plugins. Did not fix anything... I am still trying...

   Here is my post at the PodPress Forum

   This is a follow up. I guess I have some information that can help you find the problem.

   I made ALL my posts PRIVATE. Then I tried to validate my feed again. This time, the problem was with the site description which is in Greek UTF8. Here is what happens:

   This is the line of text I enter:
   Η απλότητα δεν είναι προνόμιο των ηλιθίων

   And this is what happens to this line on RSS and in the PodPress configuration page:

   Η α&p1;λότητα δεν είναι &p1;ρονόμιο των ηλιθίων

   One of the letters converts automatically to &p1;

   This happens with some letters and with some others it does not. This is the reason that the feed brakes. If I do not use Greek language there is no problem.

   I remind you that I use UTF-8

   Can you help me out?

   In the example above only the "pi" gets converted to something else [&p1;]? - which is misleading... because that character can be represented in HTML as Π but the above "conversion" gets me confused :(

   Does that plugin do something with the rss files?

   No, not only this character. Many characters of the greek alphabet are converted. Not all though...

   Would it be usefull, if I posted all the problem characters?

   Yes, this plugin adds podcast options to RSS feeds...
