Hi James,

Welcome to the forums! That's actually a pretty small number of errors for your first time running a validator.

What you need to do is take the source code of your page and find the errors on the line numbers the validator gave you. The view source in Firefox shows line numbers.

The validator is checking your code against the version of HTML specified by your document. If you view the source of your page, you'll see this code at the very top:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

This means that you're using xHTML 1.0 strict. The validator is going to check your code against the xHTML 1.0 specification as defined by the World Wide Web Consortium.

If you start with the first error, and go to line 78, you'll see the code <div align ="right">. The validator is telling you that the align attribute is not allowed in xHTML 1.0 strict. You'll need to take it out and find another way (probably in CSS) to make your div align to the right.

Line 102 is telling you that the <strong> tag does not have a corresponding </strong>.

Line 152 is telling you about a more complex problem. Here, the link tag <a href..., is directly inside the <ul> element defining the list above it. According to the xHTML specification, <ul> can only contain <li> tags directly. You'll need to structure this in some other way (probably put a <li> ... </li> around your link).

The next two about the missing </li> will probably go away once you solve the previous problem. Sometimes the validator lists errors that are actually caused by another error elsewhere on the list. Solve one problem and yo might get rid of several more.

Line 201 - this is similar to the align attribute error earlier.

Line 206 - this means that the paragraph tag wasn't closed properly. In xHTML strict all tags need to be closed, even if it doesn't affect the display of the page on the screen. Here you need to put in a </p> in the appropriate place.

Please let us know if you have anymore questions. I know this sort of thing can be confusing.
