   I just ported an enormous number of articles into wordpress, and now my rss feed throws this error:

   Reference to undefined entity 'nbsp'. Error processing resource 'http://www.favorideas.com/feed/rss/'. Line 20, Position 3

   I tried to find the actual file so I could see what it objected to, but I didn't have any luck (I'm pretty new to wordpress).

   Any ideas for fixing the feed/finding exactly what it doesn't like? I'm not sure if this means it found a   in a title field, an excerpt field, or something else.

   Hi!
   You have a   at line 20 which you can see if you go to the address you gave above and look at it with view source.

   This is not allowed in and XML document ( as your RSS ) unless explicitly defined in a DTD ( Document Type Definition ) document.

   Here is an article about the matter:

   Oh, I didn't realize the whole thing was there in the source -- duh. Thanks for the tips; that should get me going.
