   I installed the iNove theme for my wordpress blog http://www.newthoughtgeneration.com and my RSS Feed gives me an error message of:

   "XML Parsing Error: XML or text declaration not at start of entity
   Location: http://www.newthoughtgeneration.com/feed/
   Line Number 3, Column 2: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
   --------^"

   I really would appreciate some help to resolve this

   Hi

   I am not familiar with that theme. However, the reason the feed is failing validation is because these two lines of comments appear at its very beginning, which is not allowed.
   <!-- Meta Manager Start -->
   <!-- Meta Manager End -->

   The solution is to find where those lines are coming from (somewhere in the theme template files) and remove them.

   I could not find that code on any of the themes. Do you have any other suggestions?

   Hi

   Searching Google, I found exactly one entry other than this forum post! Those lines come from a plugin named Meta Tag Manager

   Suggestion: disable that plugin. To manage titles and metatags, use one of these plugins instead

   I have a similar problem with this theme. So if someone could help me it would be highly appreciated.

   I have been playing with it for a couple of days now and still no solution. What I'm trying to do is manage my subscribers with google feedburner. So I went to feedburner and I made my feed. The problem is that I can't find any place in the inove template to insert it.

   I don't have an understanding of how code works but my dilemma is this.The feed is shown at http://www.gallbladderguide.com/feed .So it works. But since I didn't insert my feedburner id anywhere, in the feedburner account it shows 0 subscribers.Why does it work without feedburner ?

   Or am I making a confusion. Because there is also an email rss. What is the difference between the two. Should I use email rss ? If so , how can I enable it ?

   Thanks,
   MrJohnes
