    WordPress is configured with:
    – Dashboard > SL Plugins > Social Links > Settings
    top position checked for posts
    – Dashboard > Appearance > Widgets
    Social Linkz in first position inside Sidebar

    When I check the generated page with http://validator.w3.org, for each social link I get this kind of messages:

    ` Error Line 229, Column 3647: Duplicate ID maskdfdf594015d19121d22b6a6ba36185b3.

    …1d22b6a6ba36185b3″ class=”social_mask”></div> <div id=”dialogdfdf594015d19…


    Warning Line 130, Column 3647: The first occurrence of ID maskdfdf594015d19121d22b6a6ba36185b3 was here.

    …1d22b6a6ba36185b3″ class=”social_mask”></div> <div id=”dialogdfdf594015d19…

    Each occurence of the social link uses a div tag with the same id, which is not allowed by specifications:

    – HTML 4.01 specification says ID must be document-wide unique.
    – HTML 5 specification says the same thing but in other words. It says that ID must be unique in its home subtree which is basically the document if we read the definition of it.

    Browsers are very accommodating, so they deal with it as long as no script use such id, but the page can’t be validated.

    Should be corrected in the next version
