what have you altered from the default as the xml should be the first line NOT the 24th

when i look at your page via opera i see the following

Quote:
21: <script type="text/javascript" src="includes/templates/ashley_pink/jscript/jscript_easySlider.js"></script>
22: <script type="text/javascript" src="includes/templates/ashley_pink/jscript/jscript_jquery.js"></script>
23: </head>
24: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>

Have you hacked the RSS file trying to add your template and theme?

If so remove it and return it to the original condition, this is meant to be seen in a feed reader not in a browser, so adding the html stuff kills it
I most certainly have NOT hacked the RSS file NOR my template to try to combine them.

The RSS feed DID work on this site a few days ago, before I tried to install SEO url mods...I should have known better; none of those appear to work.

I also had a Static Rss Feed Sidebox that I was thinking could be conflicting and so, I just removed it.

In FIREFOX, this is what I see for source:

<div id="mainWrapper">

Line 24 is a BLANK line; Line 25 is the RSS Specials (first line) of the feed.

In IE, Line 24 is the RSS Specials line. By the way, when I try to subscribe to the feeds in IE, I get this error:

Internet Explorer does not support feeds with DTDs.

So, does this feed contain a DTD (Document Type Definition)? DTDs are used to define a structure of a webpage. Internet Explorer does not support DTDs in feeds.

So where does that leave my problem?
