 * WordPress seems to be appending a bunch of information after the first </rss>
   that is invalidating the feed. The validator is having trouble with one 
    in 
   particular. Any ideas on how I can fix this?
 * Thanks,
    Joe

 * Do note line 247. Looks more like your plugin is broken. I’d get with the plugin
   author as that may be an older version that isn’t working quite right for wordpress
   2.2

 * I took a look at my plugins and I don’t seem to have any related to feeds. Someone
   on the feedburner forums suggested I look at this link:

 * I’m having a strange problem. I am trying to correct and upload my feed but the
   feed validator seems to be leaving characters out and as a result invalidating
   the feed.
 * This is what I send:
 *     ```
       <rss version="2.0"
       xmlns:content="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/"
       xmlns:wfw="http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/"
       xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">
   
       	<channel>
       ```
   
 * This is what the validator returns:
 *     ```
       # <rss version="2.0"
       # xmlns:content="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/"
       # xmlns:wfw="http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/"
       # xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/"
       #
       # <channel>
       ```
