i need some help. I tried validating my blogger blogs (located in my sig) on http://validator.w3.org/ and got a TON of validation errors on both. But here is the main error message i got. Can some one please explain what this means and how it will effect my site and SEO? thanks!if the below doesn't make sense try putting my blog's address into http://validator.w3.org/ and see if it is easier to understand) Below are the results of attempting to parse this document with an SGML parser. Error Line 2 column 51: there is no attribute "XMLNS:B". ...ttp://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml' xmlns:b='http://www.google.com/2005/gml/b' xmlnsYou have used the attribute named above in your document, but the document type you are using does not support that attribute for this element. This error is often caused by incorrect use of the "Strict" document type with a document that uses frames (e.g. you must use the "Transitional" document type to get the "target" attribute), or by using vendor proprietary extensions such as "marginheight" (this is usually fixed by using CSS to achieve the desired effect instead). This error may also result if the element itself is not supported in the document type you are using, as an undefined element will have no supported attributes; in this case, see the element-undefined error message for further information. How to fix: check the spelling and case of the element and attribute, (Remember XHTML is all lower-case) and/or check that they are both allowed in the chosen document type, and/or use CSS instead of this attribute. If you received this error when using the <embed> element to incorporate flash media in a Web page, see the FAQ item on valid flash.
I guess you have two alternatives: 1. you change the !Doctype 2. you delete that parameter "xmlns:b='http://www.google.com/2005/gml/b'" cause it seems not to be compatible with your current doctype from what i understood by reading your post.
how do i change the !Doctype? this is through blogger... Also, that google link is my tracking code for google anylitics...
Well if it's aboout blogger it's quite difficult. Anyway...check you template code, there you would might be able to change the doctype but only if that fixes your problem. I am using the classic blogger where i can change my template code. At the new blogger style i don't know if that is posible too.
For the new blogger: - login into your account - point to "Template" tab - next point to "Edit HTML" tab there you'll your page code when you can edit it. Good luck!
Well, i guess instead of searching for a proper doctype you should remove "xmlns:b='http://www.google.com/2005/gml/b'" and then see if there are any other errors.
i think that the reason it flagged that link was b/c of the quotation mark. if you look on the actual validation site link i put it shows that link with one of the quotes in red. then it has 200 other errors with either quotes or brackers in red...
For the start, change in the header from "META" to "meta" ... and in links change from "&" to "&" I don't know about the "Variable" tag...is the first time i hear about it.
