Rss Feed layout won't show

I am creating some Rss Feeds, but the default rss layout won't show up. If you know what I'm talking about, it has where it shows do you want to bookmark at the top, with the feeds in a white box below, with the background tanned. Help! Conflictions?

I think you're thinking about feedburner, they do that using an xsl stylesheet. RSS doesn't have a layout..

Let me get an Example..
Yahoo! News: Top Stories

See the background as tan and all the contents in a white container, with something about bookmarks.

It just opens up in my feed reader, you've probably just installed a plugin to read rss.

But one problem can be that you're not giving the proper headers to your rss feed: Content-Type: text/xml

Thank you, but I get an error:

Code:

XML Parsing Error: xml declaration not at start of external entity
Location: *********
Line Number 4, Column 1:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
^

Would help to see a bit of your source.

Indeed it would.

@ Sjag; Since you're using, if I may assume, FireFox, it directly puts out a feed for FireFox itself. It can be however viewed with IE or a plugin for FF.

@ Orc; Maybe this document will help out a bit as well.

Until then, waiting for the source.
