# XML broken…?

 * Er, not quite sure what’s going on, the CSS validator tells me my XML document
   is broken and this page ( [http://www.politicalanalyst.net/xmlrpc.php](http://www.politicalanalyst.net/xmlrpc.php))
   returns an error. I’m not quite sure what would have broken it. Any ideas? Thanks,

 * First, back up your xmlrpc.php file to your computer, then try updating to v1.2.1
   and then remove the xmlrpc.php file. If you’ve all ready updated, remove the 
   file anyway. It’s been removed in the 1.2.1 version, so I doubt it serves any
   purpose and removing it may fix your problem.

 * Have you modified your index.php at all ?
    Viewing source on your page has this
   at the top `<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252"?>` which does not appear
   in a default 1.2.1 index, or even a 1.2 index

 * Okay, I’ve commented out that line of code. I’m not sure why it was there, but
   we now validate.
