    For some odd reason my RSS feed isn't working. Its been down for a couple of days. I recently tried using the feedburner plug-in when I had noticed it was no longer working (the feedburner plug-in had worked for a few days). I upgraded my version of WP and the RSS still isn't working.

    I've tried several different addresses where the feed may be, with no avail.

    Is there a place I can define hte address (like, a physical xml file on my server?) ANY help would be greatly appreciated.

    ANY help would be greatly appreciated.

    any help is hard to provide without a link to the wordpress blog having the problem.

    Sorry, the site is in development...didn't know if anyone had thoughts on if it were a common occurrence:

    http://worcesterscene.com/calendar/

    I am also trying to parse the RSS to a PHP page here: http://worcesterscene.com/calendar.php
    (ignore the subscribe link, it is linking to the old feedburner account)

    the immesiatwe trouble with your feed can be seen 2-3 ways..

    First looking at the page, and then viewing its source:

    http://worcesterscene.com/calendar/wp-rss2.php

    you will notice that its complaining about this:

    1900, and 1950—to

    2. Now if you actually go back to your site, take a look at in firefox, view the source of that page, and copy and paste the source of that into wordpad, you will see this:

    http://www.village-idiot.org/broke/char.gif

    3. Validate your site, it's seen there as well. Its the first error mentioned:

    http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http://worcesterscene.com/calendar/

    Edit that post, and fix that, see what happens then.

    It even shows up when i edit this post after pasting it

    Worked perfectly. Was not aware that em dashes kill XML. Thank you for your help.
