 * You have two doctypes in the source code. Are you using two SEO plugins by chance?
 * Have you tried:
 * – deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works,
   re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).
 * – switching to the Twenty Ten theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.
 * – resetting the plugins folder by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently
   inactive plugin can still cause problems.

 * OK I am only running one SEO Plugin. I deactivated all plugins and it is still
   the same.
 * Do you have any other ideas?

   plugin can still cause problems.
 * There are still 2 doctypes in your source code coming from somewhere.
