 * I have a blog at [http://fribly.com](http://fribly.com) using WordPress 3.5.2,
   it was working fine three days ago then I started having problems with the RSS
   feed not synching to either Facebook or Twitter. I followed the problem and when
   I validate the feed (either feedburner feed or original) I receive this error:
 *     ```
       line 1, column 1: XML parsing error: <unknown>:1:1: not well-formed (invalid token) [help]
   
           <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
       ```
   
 * here’s the link for validation: [feedvalidator.org](http://feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http%3a%2f%2ffeeds.feedburner.com%2fFribly)
 * Can any one please help me solve this problem?

 * Can you try deactivating all plugins and switching to the default Twenty Twelve
   theme – to see if the issue persists?
