 * We have numerous feeds that are failing to import with various XML errors
 * `This XML document is invalid, likely due to invalid characters. XML error: Mismatched
   tag at line 18, column 8`
 * `This XML document is invalid, likely due to invalid characters. XML error: SYSTEM
   or PUBLIC, the URI is missing at line 1, column 61`
 * `This XML document is invalid, likely due to invalid characters. XML error: Undeclared
   entity error at line 10, column 30`
 * All of the feeds are clean according to Feed Validator. The reported line numbers
   and columns do not point to anything meaningful. This is becoming very frustrating
   to our students whos blogs we are trying to syndicate into a class site.

 * For what its worth, I have been able to clear a large number of these (esp from
   wordpress.com blogs or self hosted) by simply using the “switch feed” option,
   and asking FWP to rediscover the feeds.
 * Where the bleep is the developer here? Pretty poor showing.

 * The same problem with grabbing feeds from Y!P.
    Is there any idea about repairing?

 * Have you tried using [http://www.yoursite.com/feed/](http://www.yoursite.com/feed/)
   for validation? In my test, [http://www.yoursite.com/](http://www.yoursite.com/)
   failed, but it checks out the other way.

 * Yeah, I try the exact feed URL, sometimes the raw fwordpress URl form. Not much
   of a pattern.

 * Same stuff – get the message when I place RSS widget and try input mysite.com/?
   feed=rss2 as the RSS feed URS.

   tag at line 334, column 8
