is there any way i can validate my site for rss?
everytime i click on my rss link i get the following message:
XML Parsing Error: undefined entity
Location: http://oculus.farfromreal.com/index.php?x=rss
Line Number 13, Column 149:
<description>&lt;img src=&quot;http://oculus.farfromreal.com/thumbnails/thumb_20050819170549_violet.jpg&quot; align=&quot;right&quot;&gt; vi&middot;o&middot;let [v ələt] noun

I have nooo idea what this means - i havn't dealt much with rss in the past so any help is appreciated!

you could open your page in FireFox
using the webdeveloper extension you could find "tools" in the bar
you could click on all the validating tools

or you could use the forum search, why we have the possibility to search other posts? To find explanations

your problem is very basic, well described and so on

all the output of PixelPost is in UTF-8 code and all the templates must have UTF-8 codepage, but your page has iso-8859-1

that's why you get wrong characters and RSS is very pricky

so change your templates and try again

mostly it's very helpful just to enter the text or parts of the text of the error message into the search, even better than trying to find some keywords... :)
