 * Try decativating all plugins, then validate your feed:
 * [http://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fmarkforsman.com%2Fwordpress%2Ffeed%2F](http://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fmarkforsman.com%2Fwordpress%2Ffeed%2F)
 * If that resolves the issue, reactivate each one individually until you find the
   cause.

 * disabling the plugins didn’t solve the problem. The same text appears.

 * The feed can be affected by the theme, but it’s very rare. Try switching to the
   Default theme (WordPress 2.9) or the Twenty Ten theme (WordPress 3.0) to rule-
   out a theme-specific issue.
