I'm failing validation on a bunch of my single post pages and I can't figure out why it's happening. I get the same type of failure on each page. Can anyone clue me in?
Here's a <a href="http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fguzzothecontrarian.com%2F%3Fp%3D12&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&ss=1&outline=1&No200=1&verbose=1">link</a> to one of my failures. Thanks!

There seem to be an empty class in your list of comments. Check out the comments.php of the theme.

Thank you very much for the reply Moshu.
I knew that there was an empty class, that's why I posted the link. I'm just not smart enought to know "why" I have an empty class, how it happened, and how can I prevent it from happening again. It's only happened in about 20 of my posts.
I'll take a look at my comments.php to see if I can figure it out, but if anyone knows how I can fix it, please chime in.
In your theme's comments.php file, there's a line that looks like this:
<li id="comment-<?php comment_ID() ?>" class="<?php blogtxt_comment_class() ?>">
Change it to this:
<li id="comment-<?php comment_ID() ?>" class="commentclass <?php blogtxt_comment_class() ?>">
That will fix your issue without any annoying side effects.

Thank you for your input Otto, but I don't have that line in my file. I'm still using blog.txt 1.2 and that may have something to do with it.
I emailed Scott, the blog.txt author, and he recommended that I upgrade. I think I'll take his advice and upgrade both blog.txt and Wordpress as soon as I get some time.
Thank you for your help anyway.
Well, I looked at the blog.txt theme but I looked at the latest version.
If you post a copy of your comments.php file (using http://wordpress.pastebin.ca ), then I can tell you what you need to change.
