 * My website is here:
    [http://www.impressionsthroughmedia.com/](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](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.

 * 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.
