    Hi everyone,

    AFter checking the XHTML vaildation on my blog the result was:

    Line 53, column 10: end tag for “ul” which is not finished

    <ul></ul>
    Most likely, Y    ou nested tags and closed them in the wrong order. For example <em>... is not acceptable, as <em> must be closed before . Acceptable nesting is: <em>...</em>

    Another possibility is that you used an element (e.g. ‘ul’) which requires a child element (e.g. ‘li’) that you did not include. Hence the parent element is “not finished”, not complete.

    ?

    Line 56, column 8: end tag for “ul” which is not finished

    <ul></ul>
    Could anyone tell me what file to look (ie index.php) into and
    how to change the errors.

    It is likely on the sidebar, if you go to the validators line 53 and 56 you can see what they are refering to and see what is above and below it to find it.

    I couldn’t find your blog, where it is, but I found your page in your nick has 248 xhtml errors, in additon to which the content is all over shop in FF.

    Always try to provide a link to your site, so that we can take a look directly

    from what I can surmise the error is here:

    52: <h2>Links</h2>
    53: <ul></ul>
    54:
    55: <h2>Pages</h2>
    56: <ul></ul>

    It’s basically saying you’ve added an unordered list, but you have added anything in between them. One you add a couple of items it shoudl resovle itself. As sated, check sidebar.php and look for the above

    Thanks for the info.
    I will continue adding to the page and check the XHTML as I go.
