RSS Feed Doesn't Validate in 3.01 (8 posts)

    The RSS feed for my blog doesn't validate:

    http://www.photographytips.net/feed/

    I've already tried disabling all plugins and going back to the default theme - no luck.

    What else could it be this is the first RSS feed validation issue I've had. As it is right now it doesn't work because it's screwing up my Facebook fan page auto updates.

    Help pleases?

    We can't see your raw feed as you're currently using Feedburner.

    Well, if you enter it via a feed validator like this one it should still show up:

    http://validator.w3.org/feed/

    (I've disabled the plugin that auto forwards to feedburner though)

    It's still auto-forwarding.

    ermmm... it's not for me. In either case, it's sort of a non issue. If you simply take this URL:

    http://www.photographytips.net/feed/

    Put it in the validator:

    http://validator.w3.org/feed/

    You'll see the error right?

    Lines like this appear to be causing the problem:

    Image by <a href="<span style=">Image by </a

    I'm seeing multiple references to in your feed file.

    So it's content related then? I just need to go into blog posts and search for Image by etc. etc. and then update it?

    From what I can tell, yes. The validator isn't being very specific in terms of where the issue is (it's highlighting the line for the end of that post or page) but it's definitely unhappy about "invalid urls" and the instances I saw were just before the highlighted line.
