  Hi,

  My rss feed gives message
  This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.
  … followed by a html source code.

  Could you please help me?

  I’m sorry but until you post an active link to the blog in question starting with http:// we cannot even begin to investigate or provide answers.

  Your feed shows up fine for me in Safari. The W3C validation comes back clean, with only the standard suggestion about a change to get the “widest operability”.

  http://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fspanjaard.wordpress.com%2Ffeed%2F

  Bottom line: your feed is clean and working fine.

  I’m getting the same error in google chrome with http://iosgamer.org/feed/

  IE9 and safari work fine, I’m using the Enterprise theme by StudioPress. Is there a compatibility issue with the theme and google chrome?

  Google Chrome only displays the raw source of the feed, there’s nothing built in to the browser to interpret the data in a visual manner, so that’s actually normal.

  Reference to undeclared namespace prefix: ‘georss’.
  Line: 15 Character: 18

  According to the W3C feed validator, your feed is 100% clean and valid.

  http://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fmomfog.wordpress.com%2Ffeed

  The only warning is about “widest operability” and lately I’ve seen that on every feed I’ve checked.

  @stockmanic there’s a Google extension for Chrome you might be interested in: RSS Subscription Extension. Makes the RSS subscription icon appear in the address bar and gives you subscription options when you click on it.Search for it in the Chrome web store.
