    My website is here:
    http://www.impressionsthroughmedia.com/

    I cannot find my comments rss. The entries rss was lost but I changed the theme to Default, switched back and that came back to life. The comments rss did not. I did not get so lucky on the comments rss.

    I was using a the document which helps locate your entries rss feed, but I cannot find any documentation on the rss for comments location. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I followed the feed links in your sidebar. The files are being generated. They are there. All is not lost! The problem is that RSS feeds use the XML format which is very particular about white spaces at the top of the document.

    If you follow the feed links in Firefox, it outputs:

    `XML Parsing Error: xml declaration not at start of external entity
    Location: http://www.impressionsthroughmedia.com/wp-rss.php
    Line Number 2, Column 1:<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?><!– generator=”WordPress/2.5.1″ –>`

    Looking at the source of the feed, there is a blank line at the top of the feed file. That blank line is the culprit for why your feed aren’t working. But it is only a symptom of another problem.

    HandySolo from months ago:

    Have a look through your wp-config.php, plugins and/or your theme’s function.php files.

    In all cases, there should be no spaces or blank lines before the opening <?php tag. Also in all cases there should be no spaces or blank lines after the final ?> as well.

    The extra line is also showing up in the source of your homepage and you mentioned that you just changed themes, so I’d check your current theme’s functions.php first.
