#rss error

So today I've been making a RSS feed for my news section, sounds simple but I kept getting the following error

This feed does not validate.

line 2, column 1: XML parsing error: <unknown>:2:1: XML or text declaration not at start of entity [help]

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

It kept pointing to the first < . Basically it was complaining that there's white space, however much I tried to eliminate this white space in the xslt it still complained.

Fix: Simply copy this line into your template and make sure there's no white space and that will solve your problem

Dont forget to validate the feed here: http://validator.w3.org/feed/

I got a new theme, which acts like a feed aggregator:

My self-hosted WordPress blogs, except one, are not showing up. I'm also having the same issue with my Posterous feeds. I made sure to ensure that all of the feeds that are not showing mirror the one that is working, and nothing. I installed another RSS widget, and I got the following error: An error has occurred; the feed is probably down. Try again later I have tried the Feedburner and original feeds for all of them. Still can't get them to work. Here are the feeds that aren't working:

Here is the one that does work:
