Hi I have been developing my blog- My BLOG for the last few days and its almost finished. ( Except adding good contents and modifying the HEADER -to suit place the baner properly-which I'll do shortly) My biggest worry however is-- the blog shows validation errors when I checked ---with the following tool. http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=h...etect+automatically)&doctype=Inline&verbose=1 Please advice--if I'll have some big problem with search engines due to this error. I have analysed some other sites with the tools and many can't validate. Thanks in advance.
You will not have any problems with search engines docking you for lack of well-formedness (that I know of), though it is a good idea to fix your errors and conform to your dtd. I see you have seven errors: 1) Add an alt attribute (alternate text if image does not display) to your header. Just curious, why is your header logo hosted on ImageShack instead of your webhost? I would probably move it to your webhost for user speed/reliability (ImageShack removes images that take too much bandwidth). 2)You didnt have a </p> tag in your search form to close your paragraph. Your other five errors are caused by you mistyping a </a> in you footer. You have <a>b2evolution<a> instead of <a>b2evolution</a>.
Thanks you friends for the great advice and I promise--I'll sort them out. Regarding the header/and image hosting---I think Anduril66--you are correct--I'll do it soon. Grateful to your advice. To be frank--I am technically weak-but reckon that I could sort these problems/codes shortly. Ceers
