    Thanks for the attempt, I tried the plugin linked at the end of that post and although it seemed to find a whole bunch of problems, it did not fix the error I was receiving.

    If you could provide me log in information via email (pippin@pippinspages.com), I'd be more than happy to log in and fix your theme files.

    I am not comfortable with giving out my login right now, i've uploaded a lighter zip file to help provide you guys with what you need. I hope you can understand my desire to keep my info private.

    I implemented your fix and it didn't change anything. However I found the problem in the gigthumbs and thumbs.php files. Both you and wjm contributed to the code that I'm now using so I will be splitting the award between the two of you. Thanks for all of the insight and help.

  Hello there Sir,
  
  I believe it is caused by the white space before the XML declaration <?xml ... ?>.
  
  You can read more about it here: http://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/error/WPBlankLine.html
  
  If you require further assistance, please contact me.
  
  Thank you

  5 blank lines are being added to the beginning of your output.
  
  Not only does it happen in your rss feed, but in every document of your site,
  check,
  http://markforsman.com/wordpress/
  or http://markforsman.com/wordpress/other/new-website/
  
  if you give me access to your site (ftp) i can fix it.
  
  you may have something blank lines in your functions.php or your header.php file.

    btw, where is the zip file so i can read the source files.

    from what i can peek,
    http://markforsman.com/wordpress/wp-config.php
    has is printing 3 blank lines.
    
    as well as
    http://markforsman.com/wordpress/wp-content/themes/portfolio/functions.php
    
    so you need to make sure you dont have blank lines
    before and after <?php and ?>
    
    pay special attention at the end of the files.

    After editing the files you mentioned and running a plugin to clean up the others that were found I am still having an error appear, it has changed to
    

    error on line 2 at column 6: XML declaration allowed only at the start of the document
    

    
    I'm currently downloading the files again and I will update the zip. Thank you so far for your suggestions.

    wjm says:

    yes, i see your blank lines decreased, you should avoid including images in your zip file as it weights 36 MB (still downloading)
    
    maybe create a zip for the theme folder. and your wp-config.php

    Mark F. says:

    Shoot! Sorry about that, here's a zip with just the theme files and the wp-config:

    I think the problem is in your childtheme_menu() function in your porfolio/functions.php file
    attached is the file
    or you can download it from here
