    Help!! I am getting an error message when I click the Entries RSS link on my blog. This is what I’m getting:
    Internet Explorer cannot display this feed

    This feed contains code errors.
    Go back to the previous page.

    More information

    Cannot have a DOCTYPE declaration outside of a prolog.
    Line: 191 Character: 11

    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN”

    Would someone PLEASE help me with this? Thank you!

    the generic answer is make sure the feed URL associated with that link is the RSS2 link.

    If that doesn’t resolve the problem you are going to have to supply a URL.

    oh, I’m very sorry stvwlf, I forgot to post the url.

    I am brand new to the world of blogging so please spoon feed me information! Thank you very much!

    Hi

    Sorry, your theme is not really a WordPress theme. Someone has chopped pieces from WordPress and inserted them into a Dreawmeaver HTML website.

    Your RSS feed’s code is very invalid – there are parts in the middle of it that are copies of code from the HTML page that don’t belong in an RSS feed at all.

    You need to go back to the developer and have them give you a feed that validates. That is how you will resolve the problem.

    Interestingly enough I was able to subscribe to your feed in Google Reader as it is, but as you see IE can’t read it, and it fails feed validation.

    Thank you very much, stvwlf! I will have to contact my web developer and have them fix this. I really appreciate your help. Have a great weekend!
