I broke my RSS feed -- it started reporting the message
XML Parsing Error: xml processing instruction not at start of external entity
I thought I should post the fix in case any other WordPress users have the same problem. The plugin I had just added (disemvowel.php) had an extra blank line at the end. Removing the blank line fixed the problem. Simple really.
I'll just park this here, in case you haven't noticed it.
troppo is looking at a crime figures meme.
Since you mention XML, I was wondering if the XML stuff I found on the ISI Web of Science abstracts was useful?
I haven't looked at it yet, but it will probably prove handy. When I figure out how to write WordPress plugins, I'll set up a blog containing all the abstracts with a plugin that lets you classify them.
remove the extra white space at beginning of the tag will solve the problem.
white space can be carriage return (\n), tab(\t), white space (' ')
