 * Hi,
 * My RSS feed (Feedburner) is not working and will not validate when I try to fix
   it at Feedburner. My feed address is [http://feeds.feedburner.com/SweetFinds](http://feeds.feedburner.com/SweetFinds).
   Below is the error message I get. I’m not a web designer, so I’m not quite sure
   how to fix it/what code needs to be fixed. Any suggestions? Thanks!

 * Yes, the second feed does seem to work, though it doesn’t validate in Feedburner.
 * Anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this problem?
 * I’m actually getting a different message when I try to validate [http://feeds.feedburner.com/SweetFinds](http://feeds.feedburner.com/SweetFinds)
   in Feedburner now:
 * This feed does not validate.
 *  *
 *  line 1, column 0: XML parsing error: <unknown>:18:2: no element found [help]
 *  <?php
 * In addition, interoperability with the widest range of feed readers could be 
   improved by implementing the following recommendation.
 *  *
 *  Feeds should not be served with the “application/x-httpd-php5” media type [help]

 * did you replace [http://www.sweetfindsblog.com/posts/feed/](http://www.sweetfindsblog.com/posts/feed/)
   with [http://www.sweetfindsblog.com/feed/](http://www.sweetfindsblog.com/feed/)
   in Feedburner?
 * I just did a quick test with [http://www.sweetfindsblog.com/feed/](http://www.sweetfindsblog.com/feed/)
   and feedburner recognized it fine:

 * Weird — I hadn’t replaced it before, but I did just now, and everything works
   perfectly again. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I really appreciate it.
