 * The problem has to do with the `&` symbol. Whenever you post a link with `&`,
   you need to change it to `&amp;` in order for it to be correctly distinguished
   as part of a query string.

 * Yep, and when the feed does not validate, you might get a better explanation 
   from the page validator as it will fail also…

 * Thanks for the repsonse guys but the problem I have is the blog is updated with
   a yahoo rss feed that has passed the validator check.
 * How can I then manaully amend the feed to prevent this from occuring?
 * By thw way, I use feedwordpress to automatically post to the blog.
 * thanks Pari

 * hello,
    I think there is a bug in WP, every user can send a post with & < > ”
   or ‘ within the title, and those reserved characters for XML are not escaped 
   for the rrs file autmomaticly produced . regards, ff
