 * All of a sudden my rss feed is not working.
 * I get the following error message
 * XML Parsing Error: XML or text declaration not at start of entity
    Location: 
   [http://www.breakthroughecommerce.com/library/feed/](http://www.breakthroughecommerce.com/library/feed/)
   Line Number 2, Column 1:<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?>
 * I’ve tried the fix rss plugin, but it doesn’t fix anything.
 * I’ve tried removing the space from the rss2.php files, no luck.
 * I’ve tried doing a fresh install, same problem.
 * Thing is it was working, and now it’s not.
 * This is driving me mad.

 * Aha,
 * so that means it’s probably a Firefox problem.
 * At least I can stop worrying about trying to fix WP itself.
 * Still needs fixing though.

 * It is fine in FF 3.07 also.
 * Sorry, I usually test for both but got in a hurry. Don’t forget that FF just 
   show excerpts.
 * Probably a cache problem on your machine.
