 * Hi guys,
 * I recently fixed my Atom feed with your help, so i was hoping you could help 
   me with this aswell.
 * I got a comment of a user that RSS 2.0 wasn’t working anymore. I checked it, 
   and indeed the feed is showing up empty.
 * I have checked several topics, but i don’t think this problem is in there, because
   the tag-markup isn’t good. I checked a feed validator, and it gave me this error:
 * [http://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=http://www.vmx.nl/?feed=rss2](http://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=http://www.vmx.nl/?feed=rss2)
 * #line 23, column 0: Unexpected Text [help]
 *  \category>A State Of Trance</category>
 * #line 23, column 30: XML parsing error: <unknown>:23:30: mismatched tag [help]
 *  \category>A State Of Trance</category>
 * I know a little something about php/html and i know that tag isn’t good, but 
   i don’t know how to fix it.
 * If i look inside the source-code, everything is in there. But it isn’t showing
   up.
 * I hope that someone can help me with this one!
 * Feed location: [http://www.vmx.nl/?feed=rss2](http://www.vmx.nl/?feed=rss2)
 * Thanks in advanced 🙂

 * Looks like a typo actually. Note the missing ‘<‘ mark in front of the first category
   in line 23. That’s strange.
 * Which version of wp are you running?
