 * About a week ago I switched from standard permalinks to “pretty” permalinks (/%
   year%/%monthnum%/%postname%/). When I did that, my feedburner rss feed stopped
   working.
 * When I updated the feedburner link with the recommended link ([http://example.com/feed/rss2/](http://example.com/feed/rss2/))
   and it then said:
 * The URL does not appear to reference a valid XML file. We encountered the following
   problem: Error on line 5: The element type “meta” must be terminated by the matching
   end-tag “</meta>”.
 * In order to determine if the problem was with feedburner or wordpress, I deactivated
   the feedburner plug-in and the rss links on my page continued to forward to feedburner.
 * If I change the permalinks back to “standard” the RSS works fine. If they are
   another setting, the RSS does not work. I switched it back and forth several 
   times to make sure the permalinks were the issue and they certainly appear to
   be.
