William,

Interesting what you found out from Dreamhost.

Thanks for letting everyone know what you found out!

Regards,

Dale

Thank you for this. I saw that my site had a problem when running it through an RSS validator, but it was your article that tipped me off to header.php. Mentioned you here. Thanks again... you saved me hours of trying to figure out what was going on.... Bye for now, Dale Dale's last blog post..Change Your WordPress Admin Password!

Thanks for the heads-up. I’ve got a wordpress blog in the works, and hope to launch in a month or so. I appreciate the insight and experience you bring to bear on the matter.
