After adding the RSS widget to my sidebar, http://www.ourexcellentadventures.com
I can't validate my css.
I get this error, Value Error : background Too many values or values are not recognized : orange. The value comes from, <img style='background:orange;color:white;border:none;' width='14' height='14' src='http://www.ourexcellentadventures.com/wp-includes/images/rss.png' alt='RSS' /> which is in-line css.
Is there a way to fix this or should I find another widget?
There's nothing wrong with that CSS that I can see! And the W3C CSS validator gives the site a clean bill of health.

Well that is pretty strange. This url says all is ok,
http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ourexcellentadventures.com&profile=css21&usermedium=all&warning=1&lang=en
and this url reports an error
http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?profile=css2&warning=2&uri=http%3a%2f%2fwww.ourexcellentadventures.com%2f
Wished I had looked at the top one first before spending time trying to fix an error(?).
EDIT: One is level 2 css and the other level 2.1 - I think I will quit while I am ahead.
Validators are just tools. And dumb software tools, at that. Maybe one of the algorithms didn't like the single quotes around the style declaration next to single quoted image dimensions. Who knows? Either way, it all looks fine.
