   Hi.

   I am getting the following error when clicking on the rss feed tab at the top of my homepage on http://www.groom_wedding_speeches.org.

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

   It has me totally baffled as I havent added any xml files. the only thing that I can think of is that I added a custom header and then noticed the error, but even when I take the custom header down it still gives the error. The header was added through the custom.css file.

   It's your RSS feed file. It has a single blank line at the top which is causing the feed validation to fail.

   I added a custom header

   My guess is that you introduced a blank line in your theme's template file(s) when carrying out this change. Try checking through all theme files - starting with header.php - and removing any blank lines before the opening <?php.
