   Here is what the feed validator shows me:

   This feed does not validate.
   
   line 7, column 0: XML parsing error: <unknown>:7:0: not well-formed (invalid token)
   
   Source: http://www.employmentblawg.com/wp-rss-feedburner.php
   
      1. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><!-- generator="wordpress/2.2" -->
      2. <rss version="2.0"
      3. xmlns:content="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/"
      4. xmlns:wfw="http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/"
      5. xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/"
      6.
      7. <channel>

   Yet, my wp-rss-feedburner.php actually is:

   <?php
   if (empty($feed)) {
   	$blog = 1;
   	$feed = 'rss2';
   	$doing_rss = 1;
   	require('wp-blog-header.php');
   }
   
   header('Content-type: text/xml; charset=' . get_settings('blog_charset'), true);
   $more = 1;
   
   ?>
   <?php echo '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="'.get_settings('blog_charset').'"?'.'>'; ?>
   //generator="wordpress/<?php bloginfo_rss('version') ?>"
   
   <rss>
   
   <channel>

   Why the discrepancy? It's not a plugin because I've disabled them all. I've deleted the php file, tried to validate it, and it correctly shows that it's missing. However, when I re-upload the file it reverts it back to the erroneous file. What in the world could be doing this?

   What the heck is wp-rss-feedburner.php?!?

   That's not part of WordPress.

   I don't know what it is either, but maybe it will solve my problem?

   ok. I don't know what it was either, all I know is that feedburner was using it as the original source. It seems like wp-includes/feed-rss2.php was the actual problem. Somehow the closing > was missing of the <RSS> tag, and it was a very simple solution. I deleted the wp-rss-feedburner.php file.
