 * There are the reslts. Reading the help information, I’m assuming the issue is
   with the white space before the XML declaration. My question is, where is that
   coming from?
 * Someone did make a change to the wp-rss2.php file last Friday. It was causing
   a different issue, so I removed the change. After I did, this error appeared.
   I’ve even tried copying a brand new version of the file from my test server. 
   Still receiving the error.
 * Any ideas?
 * edit: Spelling.
