  Why does a wordpress.com blog not show a feed, it used to, then it stopped, even if i type the address into firefox (flock) it does not show up.

  But the following does not work:

  One of your posts had a bad character, making the feed fail validation. I removed the character and it’s working again.

  Please check your settings >reading & make sure you don’t have
  your feed set to one post. (image reference)

  It might be worth me knowing what the bad character was, so as not to repeat it.

  Thanks for the speedy fix! ! !

  Sometimes the RSS feeds are down from other sites, not wordpress, never know where the problem is.

  Thanks again to everyone

  You can use the feed validator at http://validator.w3.org/feed/

  If you run this blog through, you’ll see a square looking character.

  I am having trouble understanding this,

  I replace the suspect characters, they actually look normal to begin with. I also use the rubber eraser button to remove formatting.

  And still i have the same problem!!!

  Here is what the validator is telling me, and it has red arrows showing the suspect characters, which probably won’t show here:

  Okay I have most of it working now – thanks it says:

  This feed is valid, but interoperability with the widest range of feed readers could be improved by implementing the following recommendations.

  line 1152, column 0: style attribute contains potentially dangerous content: .0001pt (34 occurrences) [help]

  <p style=”text-align:justify;margin:0 0 .0001pt;”><span style=”font-size:13. …

  *

  line 1464, column 0: content:encoded should not contain embed tag (2 occurrences)

  I’ll keep working

  I think this may be an IE7 problem.
