RSS feed doesn't validate but why?

I recently received an email from a DaniWeb member saying they're trying to use the blog RSS feed with the Bloglines feed reader, and it doesn't seem to be working. However, the forum RSS feed does work.

The forum RSS feed is at www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/external.php?type=rss2

The blog RSS feed is at www.daniweb.com/blogs/rss.php

Whenever I put the blog RSS feed into the web-based feed reader, Bloglines, it just shows up blank. It can't even figure out the title or description of the blog itself!

meanwhile, the forum RSS feed shows the title, description, and all of the entries.

This is really bloggling me. What is wrong with my feed?

Ryan figured the problem out for me. It turns out that my date had an extra space in it. I didn't notice it myself because apparently IE didn't show it.
