Hi all,

I tried to add the RSS feed http://feeds.feedburner.com/servethehome to my newsreader as found in the footer of the site pages, but it tells me the XML is invalid.

I tried passing the content through to xmllint and it says:

Code:
$ curl http://feeds.feedburner.com/servethehome | xmllint --format -
parser error : XML declaration allowed only at the start of the document 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
     ^
It looks like there is an extra blank line appearing at the top of the RSS data that's causing it to fail? Looks like the the same as this issue again.

Every so often that happens on a big upgrade. It should have been fixed a few days ago.
