 * After I upgraded to v2.3, my RSS feed can’t be accessed anymore. When access 
   to RSS feed, the browser display:
 * >  XML Parsing Error: xml declaration not at start of external entity
   >  Location:
   > [http://ithotnews.com/feed](http://ithotnews.com/feed) Line Number 2, Column
   > 1:<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?> ^

 * Somewhere, some plugin or other file has a blank line at the start of it. Could
   be wp-config.php, could be your theme’s functions.php file, could be any plugin.
   No way to tell.
 * Find it, and remove that blank line.

 * Hi Otto, you are really brilliant, I tried to deactivated all plug-ins then enabled
   it one by one, and the feed worked again like a charm. Thank you so much !
