   What is happening to my RSS feed? When I click the RSS link, here's what I get:

   "XML Parsing Error: XML or text declaration not at start of entity
   Location: http://iuliandonici.com/feed
   Line Number 3, Column 1:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
   ^
   "

   Anybody had this before? I tried installing FIX RSS FEED plugin but that did no good.

   I'd appreciate it a lot if you have any idea of what's going on.

   It's kinda funny that this suddenly emerges at more places at once. The article before the last on my site seemed to be served by rss, but the last isn't.

   So somewhere between the 6th of November and the 19th something changed somewhere to prevent rss feeds from working.

   Although a plugin or two has been updated during this period, but also WordPress itself, I tried to deactivate the plugins one by one, but doesn't seem to make any difference.

   I'm going to dig a bit deeper...

   Samboli your link did the trick for me - only had to follow one suggestion from your link (http://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/error/WPBlankLine.html).

   "Check your theme's functions.php file for blank lines outside of <? and ?> bracketed section"

   Thanks Samboli!

   Thanks "samboll" and "DigitalPresences".
   Blank lines outside <?php ?> in functions.php caused this to my blog too.
