    I am currently using Parallax Pro for my site:

    Jason Fox Real Estate Marketing | Real Estate Website Design

    I recently noticed my RSS fed email newsletter was not sending.

    I ran my feed: http://www.jasonfox.me/feed/ through the W3C Validator and was told:

    Blank line before XML declaration (WordPress)

    Can you tell me how I can correct this?

    thank you, Jason

    Look at this screenshot - https://www.dropbox.com/s/8piknga53cnnnus/Screenshot%202014-07-12%2013.50.13.png. There is a empty line at Line #1. Did you modify any of the CORE files or the Framework? Do you have Simple Hooks installed? Check the Header box under Appearance > Theme Settings - see if there is a break or anything in that box.

    Thanks anitac,

    Nope have not touched Genesis... all customizations are on the child.

    No Simple Hooks... just Simple Edits

    No breaks there.

    Check your Yoast settings for any blank spaces. If you cannot locate it, deactivate your plugins and reactivate them one at a time checking for that space each time.

    It was the Digg Digg Plugin?

    I have a request in with the developers.

    Thanks for your help.

    That's odd. I am using that on my site and my feed is fine.

    I know... it is odd. I put it on a bunch of sites, and have had it in the past.

    Will let you know what I find out.

    Oh... just a thought... did you have your buttons floating like mine or placed horizontally under your post info?
