When I go to this page, I get the following error.

XML Parsing Error: xml processing instruction not at start of external entity
Location: http://searchthefreakingweb.com/node/feed
Line Number 2, Column 1:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
^

I've been trying the traditional things like clearing cache, disabling and reenabling modules, and so on. Anyone seen this before or have any ideas?

There is an extra line at the very beginning of the output. This can be caused by a variety of things:

- Stray linebreak at the end of a drupal file (module, inc, theme)
- Empty HTTP header being sent

There was a bug with the second case in 4.4, but it was fixed. Does the problem occur for both logged in and non-logged in users? I noticed you have an empty line at the beginning of regular pages as well.

Seems to be just for those logged in, except the feed isn't working right when aggregated on my other sites.

Nevermind. It's broken for all users, logged in or not.

I'm not getting that error anymore, but now I get the following error when I try to aggregate that feed on another site.

xml declaration not at start of external entity at line 2.

My issue was that I left devel themer on while I was trying to run the bulk export of the feed I was generating. Disabled and problem solved.
