    Sorry, I am unable to validate this document because on line 162, 174-176, 178 it contained one or more bytes that I cannot interpret as utf-8 (in other words, the bytes found are not valid values in the specified Character Encoding). Please check both the content of the file and the character encoding indication.

  • If every theme causes it, then you can safely determine that there’s no need to try themes 51 – 100. ??

    Instead, have a look at your posts. Any non-printable or odd characters in them?

    your 2 posts are related, I guarantee you.

    non-english blog by chance? or non english characters? check your encoding also.

    odd characters, yes thats a possibility. ill look into that.

    english blog, but alot of the content comes from emails.

    If people are using something like word prior to posting by email (write in word, copy to email to post I mean), that can cause the “odd character” problem as well.
