  The last few posts have not been showing up in the reader. I thought it was just me, but then confirmed with other users that they just aren’t showing up.

  What can I do to remedy?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,

  It looks like there is an invalid character in one of your posts that is messing up your site’s XML feed and preventing the Reader from reading the feed correctly. If you remove that character, we should be able to process the feed again.

  In the post, https://www.jwmartin.com/top-5-characters-i-would-team-up-with-to-rule-the-world/, the line “Hopefully he brings his pal Sevro along. I think we might need him.” there’s an extra character added in just after Hopefully. One of our developers had a look, and it’s the unicode character for Escape:

  Edit the post and remove that – you may need to delete the “Hopefully he” completely and retype it if that character is not showing in the HTML view of the editor – and then you should be good.
