    Can anyone please tell me how to repair my feed?

    My WordPress blog is Gotham Glassworks by Greg Locke

    Since I upgraded to 2.9 my RSS feed has been corrupted and for the life of me I can’t figure out why (even after reviewing the forums, like this one, on this topic). My symptoms seem to be similar to others in the forums but obviously not in my case.

    In addition, My XML sitemap generator plugin only seems to complete a new sitemap if I force it to do so “manually”. The sitemap appears OK when I view it – but I can’t explain this – my posts do not come up in any very obvious Google searches – only my Flickr, Youtube or 3rd party results show.

    From what I can determine, using an online RSS validator I seem to have 2 pieces of code that is halting the feed from being generated. I can see the code in the RSS verification BUT … as I’m not a programming expert I can’t figure out how (or where) the code is being generated.

    Strangely there doesn’t seem to be anyone else complaining of this problem since the 2.9 upgrade.

    Here is what I see when I check the Original Feed Validity:
    ====================================

    FOR ATOM AND RSS AND KML

    It looks like this is a web page, not a feed. I looked for a feed associated with this page, but couldn’t find one. Please enter the address of your feed to validate.

    Here is what I see when I check the Feedburner Feed Validity:

    Sorry

    This feed does not validate.

    ^
    In addition, interoperability with the widest range of feed readers could be improved by implementing the following recommendation.

    ========================================

    Line 1140 seems to be the most offensive but I have no idea what can be generating this code! It doesn’t appear in any of my posts or pages (I’ve bolded it below and it appears at the very end of the “feed”):

    </rss><adsttnmq1><font style=”position: absolute;overflow: hidden;height: 0;width: 0″>dfkj31sk342</font></body></html><sdioyslkjs2>

    line 13, column 93: Self reference doesn’t match document location [help]

    … rel=”self” type=”application/rss+xml” />
    ^

    Can anyone give me a tip n how to diagnose an remove this code? This assumes this will even fix it!

    Happy New Year to you all from Canada.

    Sincerely,

    Greg Locke
