 * I seem to always have issues with RSS feeds – either linking to external rss 
   feeds or with internal rss feeds.
    [http://hn.k12.oh.us/feed/](http://hn.k12.oh.us/feed/)
   Displays the following message
 * > This page contains the following errors:
   >  error on line 7 at column 6: XML 
   > declaration allowed only at the start of the document Below is a rendering 
   > of the page up to the first error.
 * Here is an external rss feed I tried using the RSS Widget with.
    [http://rss.blackboardconnect.com/3576/hnall/feed.xml](http://rss.blackboardconnect.com/3576/hnall/feed.xml)
   I get the following message displayed on the front end of the widget.
 * > An error has occurred, which probably means the feed is down. Try again later.
