 * I’m having persistent feed problems with WP 2.7. Newsgator has no problem picking
   up my feed(s) but when I try to pull it via feedsjs2 through to another website
   I get an error.
 * _Error: Feed failed! Causes may be (1) No data found for RSS feed [http://www.planputnam.org/ntm/feed/](http://www.planputnam.org/ntm/feed/);(
   2) There are no items are available for this feed; (3) The RSS feed does not 
   validate._
 * When I run the feed link through a validator I get this:
 * _Sorry_
 * This feed does not validate.
    * line 1, column 1: Blank line before XML declaration[

 * etc.,
 * I’ve read the forum posts on this and am still not able to deduce a solution.
   I figure by now someone would have gotten this worked out.
 * And, just where is _[http://www.mydomain.com/feeds/](http://www.mydomain.com/feeds/)_?
   It’s not a folder on my machine anywhere.
 * Thanks,
