I don't intend to be cynical in any way, shape, or form.

Apparentely I don't, because that code creates the same error.

There must be something other you are trying to do than just reading the file in the browser then?

Are you trying to parse the xml file in a script?

no, I'm editing the xml in the default Angelfire.com editor, and then I hit preview and get that error screen.

When you preview in angel fire right click and say view source. Then paste the source here. There is a chance angelfire is adding code to the xml.

It is angelfire adding the first line then, you can't use it since it is not valid.
<base href="http://www.angelfire.com/wy/WYFIRE/"> must not be part of your feed page.
Like I said in your "other question" thread, find a different webhost, I can certainly help you do that.

Of course you can ( Do you have a static IP? not necessary but it makes it alot easier).

The only problem is you can't use the existing domain name but easily fixed since you can do a redirect from your existing site with a very simple meta.
