@mellissathomas The one time this happened to me, it was because I copied and pasted a post from Microsoft Word straight into WordPress.  There was some kind of special characters embedded in the Word document that didn’t play well with XML.  The only way I could solve it was to delete the offending post (usually the last one that published to RSS successfully) and republish it.  For the republished version, take the text out of Microsoft Word and drop it into Microsoft Notepad.  That should strip the special characters.  Then copy it out of Notepad and paste it into the new post.  Be warned that republishing might change the permalink too – but hopefully it should fix the feed. Then going forward, don’t copy / paste out of Word.

The best way to do this in Wordpress is to copy the post into Notepad and then to the site. Or, in the editing section of Wordpress (where you place the post), there is a small box labeled with a “W”. That opens a window that lets you place the text into it and it will strip out any coding.

@anitacohen-williams Thanks, Anita. I’ll keep that in mind when I make the switch to WP (I’m still on Blogger at the moment).

@kristi-hines That might be the case, Kristi. Thanks again.
