It looks like there's a bad URL in the post "Testday: Firefox 4 Beta 1":

<a href="Interactive Console, 'HeadsUpDisplay' ">Interactive Console</a>

The spaces, comma, and quotes in that href aren't allowed. We should edit the post to correct the link, but I'm not sure what the link should be. Maybe https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Projects/Console ?

The feed validator is also pointing out a relative URL in another post, "Results for Mozmill Add-on Testscripting Testday":

we had our <a href="/events/2010/may/28/testday-addon-testscripting-mozmill">second testday</a>

That's not invalid, but it's a relative URL that only points to the current site, so anyone picking up the feed won't have a working link. I've fixed that post already, and authors should remember to use full URLs in their posts for the sake of feed readers.
