It does not validate, http://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=http://robcubbon.com/ but the feed works fine in Chrome and FireFox.
Yes, kmessinger, I can’t work out why it isn’t validating. I’m wondering if there’s a funny character in there but I can’t see anything wrong about it. There seems to be something wrong with this here:
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-12714" src="http://robcubbon.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/If-you-regularly-give-your-best-your-best-gets-better.jpg" alt="If-you-regularly-give-your-best-your-best-gets-better" width="500" height="500" />
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Do you agree? If so, share.</em></p>
Bad characters doesnt show up in your normal everyday editor. I can see that the “give-your-best-your-bear-gets-better.jpg” contains invalid data in the path

Even though they dont show up the easiest way to get rid of them is to select the whole <p>line with image</p> and delete and then add again (copy paste wont help you and make sure you delete everything at the same time otherwise bad characters may still live on).

Thank you, rollingWolf, I’ve fixed that and the RSS feed now validates.
However, I still get an error on Chrome when I go http://robcubbon.com/free maybe that’s a cache/CDN issue – although I flushed the cache on my CDN
and, as a matter of interest, what’s the text editor you’re using to show the bad characters?
I don’t get any error on that link. And I too would like to know what editor rollingWolf is using.
Thank you, kmessinger, it works in Chrome for me now – must’ve been a caching issue. I’ll have to mark this as resolved but I hope rollingWolf tells us his secret.
I used wget to download the feed to make sure that I got it exactly “as is” then i opened it in sublime text 3. But I assume that atom (free alternative) should be able to show those characters too. Heck even notepad++ should be able to.
