RSS Feed for Puzzles is Broken

Any chance to get this fixed? This feed was a convenient way to get notified when new puzzles were posted.

Thanks, the puzzle feed is working again. However, the feeds of the blog and the news also seem to have changed and IE8 has problems parsing them now. I found out that there is a line break character (0x0A) at the very beginning of the xml data. Removing that character fixes the problems.

I just tested the RSS feed with IE8 running on WinXP. It seem to work fine. What's on the rest of the line that has the troublesome character?

The feed starts with the 0x0A character. Immediately after that the xml declaration begins: "". I'm using IE8 on Win 7 btw.

I saved the feed as a local file and opened it with an hex editor. It must have been caused by something you changed when you repaired the puzzle feed, because before that these feeds worked perfectly.

I am also seeing that the Blog feed is broken. I can't subscribe to it through either Firefox 3.6.6 nor Google Chrome on Ubuntu 10.04, and Google Chrome tells me when I try to subscribe that it's not a valid feed.
