   Hi, I just upgraded to 2.3.3 and my rss feed doesn't work anymore. My feed used to be here, but now I get the following error there.

   XML Parsing Error: xml declaration not at start of external entity
   Location: http://www.moneymyths.org/blog/feed/
   Line Number 1, Column 2: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
   -^

   Please Help. Thanks.

   Empty/blanks space at the top.
   Can be caused by anything: blank in the file itself, in functions.php (of the theme!), a plugin etc.

   moshu, I tried changing themes and the feed still showed an error. I am using the same plugins as before the upgrade.

   You have the blank line problem.

   See here: http://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/error/WPBlankLine.html

   I found a blank in the wp-feed.php and wp-config.php and removed it in both files. I removed spaces in my functions.php file and I deactivated all plugins.

   I didn't see a <?xml in any of the files the validator told me to check, though I did find one in the xmlrpc.php file. Should <?xml be in the rss file?

   It shouldn't. Stick to what it says about the files to check.

   And your feed is NOT where you say it is, but here:

   and it works
   (you are not using the nice permalinks)
