Hi Faraz,

When you validate your RSS, it tells you what the error is.

The problem is, your blackhole feed is dynamic so you can't tell what line the error is really in, but it will still give you the general error.

First, do a search/replace across all text files and remove:

? (question mark)
- (hyphen)
' (single quote)

Then run it through the validator. It will show the errors in yellow highlighting. Look for any symbols that are not letters or numbers inbetween the RSS tags. Try to remove these.

Upload any modifications and refresh the validator page until you can refresh it 6-7 times without any errors.

If you get an error, you need to remove the error on ALL TEXT FILES.

Using Textpad, this is easy...Open all text files in Textpad and when you replace (remove) an error, select "all open files".

Then use Textpads "save all" feature.

Then upload again.

It sounds harder than it is...There's probably only a few errors that need to be fixed...It's just the errors are each repeated multiple times.
