Try adding “AddDefaultCharset utf-8″ to your .htaccess (without the ” of course)

This will be new territory for me; I don’t have a .htaccess file now. Do I just create a .htaccess with that one line in it? Does it go in my root folder or in my WordPress folder?
You can create one with just that line yes, and you could put in either root or the wp folder.
wp-rss2.php, line10:
header(‘Content-type: application/xml’, true);

Ah, I was just going to report back that I moved the .htaccess to \Wordpress and the root with no appreciable results.
I changed the wp-rss2.php line above and now my RSS feed validates. Thanks!

I changed the wp-rss2.php line but it didn’t help. The feed that I am having problems with is http://technospin.org/wordpress/wp-rss2.php.
Any ideas?

The feed URL picked up a “period” so here it is again: http://technospin.org/wordpress/wp-rss2.php

No although I definitely appreciate your trying to help. Newsgator and IntraVnews both are having problems with it. They both report a server committed an HTTP protocol violation.
Do you have any other suggestions?

None that I can really think of. My freed reader is picking it up right too.

Scratch that, try selecting the option for WordPress to gzip your feeds when requested. It’s a long shot, but you never know.

No luck. I’d hate to have to switch to something other than WordPress.

This is really odd though. My feed readers do pickup your feed, and FeedValidator says it’s fine. I suppose you could try a complete delete-and-reinstall of all files except the ones you’ve modified (index.php).

Hm, you might want to try bringing your XHTML up to standards, that may fix what ever’s going on. http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Ftechnospin.org%2Fwordpress%2F

It was worth a shot but I fixed the XHTML (and had to make things less “pretty” because of strange tags WordPress was inserting) but it still fails. I even upgraded to the latest version of WordPress. I think it may be time to switch.
