    I wasn't sure where to post this but thought GT was best. I was trying to enable that thing in the DP profile where it lists your latest post on your blog next to your avatar. I put in my feed but it doesn't seem to work.
    What did I do wrong?
    My url: www.1stsearchenginerankings.com
    Thanks,Randy

    I think you've hacked something in there somehow

    The url should be http://www.1stsearchenginerankings.com/feed/

    but the output isn't valid xml.

    that's not a DP problem but something on your site that you'll need to fix.

    Try using automatic XML generating software to fix your problem. Try to use different themes to fix your wordpress problem.
    Is it really wordpress BTW?

    It is not working because your wordpress has errors.

    You get this error at your domain/feed page.

    Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/search/public_html/wp-blog-header.php:3) in /home/search/public_html/wp-rss2.php on line 8

    Thats why its not able to be read and so doesnt appear near your name.

    don't use feedburner to fix a problem that shouldn't exist.

    Upload wp-feed.php again, and possibly any of the other wp scripts that may have been corrupted. Make sure they go up as ascii. Make sure you have the latest version.

    Simple, and effective!

    And if you have any plugin's that alter your feed's I'd advice you to disable them.

    I'm not a fan of those auto installs.

    Get yourself an ftp tool like smartftp

    download the files from www.wordpress.org

    upload the files to your server

    and test again.

    I downloaded the files and re-uploaded the ones related to the feed and upgraded but it still gives the same error.

    In IE it gives this error:

    The XML page cannot be displayed
    Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.

    Only one top level element is allowed in an XML document. Error processing resource 'http://www.1stsearchenginerankings.com...

    Ps. Turnsiffer I will check the url you provided. WP usually gots good faqs. Thanks for that link.

    It says the problem is in wp-rss2.php on line 8 which is this line"
    header('Content-type: text/xml; charset=' . get_settings('blog_charset'), true);

    EXACTLY as it appears in the file without anything added or edited. What do you think is the problem?

    The xml looks fine except that error at the top.

    go check that wp link from turfsniffer

    and look at your header.php in the template. Does it have blank spaces at the top... dunno, shouldn't even be called

    good luck

    Scratch that. I edited the wp header and there was a trailing space which must have been the problem. Seems to load the feed fine now. Awesome! Thanks everyone. Gave rep to you sarahk and giving some to snurf because that link was where that advice for the trailing space came from. Thanks!
