Try inserting

<?xml version=”1.0” encoding=”iso-8859-1”?>

as a first line, otherwise it looks ok to me.

Thanks, Jim. I’ll give that a go.

Do add the line Jim suggested, but that may not be enough. This is weird, I don’t know offhand why it helps, but remove the title=”” from the first line in your Mozilla 1.4 entry. Or make it title=” ”.

Too, in your ”Microsoft quits W3C panel” post, replace the &nbsp; with regular spaces in the title attribute of the Infoworld link. Those seem to be causing problems.

Thanks, Sam. That did it. RSS now validates.
