# RSS Feed validation throwing out errors

 * I don’t know how long this has been going on, but I was checking my RSS feed 
   this for my WP installation over at [http://www.thewanderingbrit.com](http://www.thewanderingbrit.com)
   and I noticed that it was throwing out a serious error:
 * This feed does not validate.
    line 719, column 75: XML parsing error: <unknown
   >:719:75: not well-formed (invalid token) [help] <link>[http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-19512_7-10281377-233.html?part=rss&tag=](http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-19512_7-10281377-233.html?part=rss&tag=)…
 * I’ve done lots of research online to try and find out why this is happening, 
   but to no avail. Does anyone have any idea what the issue might be, or better
   yet, how to resolve it?
 * Thanks

 * Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this issue? Among other plugins,
   I’m running All-in-one SEO Pack, FD Feedburner Plugin and FeedWordPress. I don’t
   think any other plugins would be to blame, but does anyone know whether any of
   these might be?

 * Still no help? I’m fairly certain that it’s FeedWordpress and what it’s importing
   from Google Reader Shared Items.

 * I think I may have found some vital information about the potential error here:
 * Feedburner says this when trying to add the feed:
 * The URL does not appear to reference a valid XML file. We encountered the following
   problem: Error on line 87: The reference to entity “iphone” must end with the‘;’
   delimiter.
 * Could it be that posts written and published from my iPhone are causing the issue?
   Not every GUID has the iphone tag in the URL.
 * Can someone please step up and offer any insight? This is really quite annoying
   as my feed has now been invalid for weeks.
 * Thanks
