    This just popped up with my rss feed:http://www.everythingbetween.com/?feed=rss2

    I cannot seem to figure out why my feed is not verifying. The message I have received from readblogs.com is:

    The XML declaration is unexpected. Line 5, position 3.

    Did you recently make changes, like add a plugin? Something is including junk head content in your feeds.

    You have:
    <head>
    <meta name="ICBM" content="34.093300, -118.251038" />
    <meta name="DC.title" content="Everything Between" />
    </head>

    being inserted into the RSS feed that is invalid. As Beel noted, try to figure out who is injecting this stuff.

    A quick GREP in the /wp-content/plugins directory might give you something to look at.

    Regards

    thanks for the help. Yeah, I put in my coordinates for geourl.org, but put them in the index instead of the header. I have fixed it.

    Hmmm..ICBM...Inter-Continental Ballistic Missile..? :)

    Glad you figured it out...

    Cute - but that is what it stands for... even in this case (As in "This is my missile address") from the Usenet mapping project. I still like "International Consortium for Brain Mapping" (and it would have fit, too)
