 * I confess to being a numbskull when it comes to coding. My RSS feed doesn’t appear
   to work. Blog location is at [http://www.big-green.net/applications/wordpress/](http://www.big-green.net/applications/wordpress/)
 * Any ideas? Thanks. joe

 * honest opinion:
 * you need to upgrade your wordpress instead of worrying about the feed being broke.
 * `<meta name="generator" content="WordPress 1.5.2" /> <!-- leave this for stats--
   >`
 * youre using a version that is vulnerable to a whole host of exploits, most of
   which are easily located on the net.

 * Sound advice.
 * Once you’ve done that you could do worse than check out Feedburner.com

 * Both sound advice.
 * As for the error itself, you have a bunch of leading new lines or carriage returns
   at the top of your feed.
 * Check any recently edited files or recently added plugins for extra spaces or
   newlines before the opening `<?php` or after the closing `?>`. Delete any of 
   those newlines.
