   My blog is at http://www.knowitalldiva.com and resolves to http://knowitalldiva.com

   Everything works great except for the RSS. If you go to the bottom left of the screen and click on the RSS image you are taken to -
   http://knowitalldiva.com/?feed=rss2

   The error is -
   Invalid xml declaration.
   Line: 2 Character: 3

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

   In my file wp-rss2.php I have the following code -

   <?php
   /**
   * Outputs the RSS2 feed XML format using the feed-rss2.php file in wp-includes
   * folder. This file only sets the feed format and includes the feed-rss2.php.
   *
   * This file is no longer used in WordPress and while it is not deprecated now.
   * This file will most likely be deprecated or removed in a later version.
   *
   * The link for the rss2 feed is /index.php?feed=rss2 with permalinks off.
   *
   * @package WordPress
   */

   if (empty($wp)) {
   require_once('./wp-load.php');
   wp('feed=rss2');
   }

   require (ABSPATH . WPINC . '/feed-rss2.php');

   ?>

   likely causes
   blank line at start or end of wp-config.php
   blank line at start or end of plugin file (this happens a lot)
   blank line at start or end of theme's function.php or other file

   Check your wp-rss2.php and wp-atom.php files for blank lines outside of <? and ?> bracketed sections.

   Ok.. i totally just screwed it up (I thought it would be wise to do a find and replace to remove blank line #1's, that didn't work so well lol) and can't even get to the admin now :) Thanks for your suggestions though, after I do a complete reinstall I will reference your comment if I continue to have this issue. Thanks.
