    Hi guys,

    I ran my site through http://validator.w3.org/

    I had 163 errors, I give it a tidy up and now my site is only showing 5 errors.

    Can you take a quick look and let me know, if the coding is ok now?

    My site:

    I looked at the source code the that website and I almost stabbed my eyes out.

    I'll be honest man. It's bad. It's REAL bad.

    Your site needs to be completely rebuilt from the ground up - not using whatever terrible WYSIWYG editor you are using. But I'm sure you kinda already knew that :p

    As far as the errors.
    The first 2 errors are because you are trying to close a single tag -which is only done with an XHTML doctype - not HTML
    The other errors is because you have multiple html tags, doc types, and div IDs within the same page - which is BAD.

    Honestly - I'm kinda amazed the page renders as well as it does :D

    I'll second that!!

    Dude.. WRITE the code yourself - sit down, open up Notepad and then work.

    ...and do yourself a favor - delete your WYSIWYG Editor!
    It will ruin you!
