gave that a go. however, instead of being weird characters instead of - like they were, now they just don't show up at all. any other suggestions? here's the link to visually see what I am talking about.

hmm.... ok, first try the XML file in a browser, you may have something wrong in there.
Another thing, if you're using text with HTML you'll have to enclose it using CDATA brackets:
