   I have been fixing up all of the errors on my new page, iPhonegamerblog.com and am down to 18. I am having an awful lot of trouble trying to find these. Can you guys help?

   http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http://iphonegamerblog.com/&charset=(detect+automatically)&doctype=Inline&ss=1&outline=1&group=0&No200=1&verbose=1&st=1&user-agent=W3C_Validator/1.654#line-318

   Mostly they are xml parsing errors and OMITTAG's.

   Thanks for any help you can offer!

   You need to add the missing tags in the relevant template file in your theme to remove most of those errors. Then try re-validating.

   I know that but the problem is the validator doesn't tell me which template file to look in for the source code (as far as I can tell somehow it merges them all into one file).

   No - the validator looks at the output of the template files - which is a single web page.

   You have to backtrack by looking at your page's source code, noting where the missing tag should be and identifying which is the most likely template file (header.php, index.php, sidebar, php, functions.php or footer.php).

   Yep, thats where I need the help.

   Sorry but you either need to learn how to do this yourself or you need to hire an expert. It can be quite a painstaking job and requires access to all of your theme files and post content.

   I know I've had to resort to printing off my source code from the browser, then hitting it with a highlighter, marking off tag pairs.....

   Thanks for your time esmi but I've seen a lot of people on this board be really helpful. I'll take a chance and see if one of them can help.

   Down to 14 but pretty lost regarding the last ones that all seem to resove around 2 different div codes.

    Also if it helps, it seems like all of the errors are in the footer.

    Scroll down in the validation report and look at the source code and line numbers of the errors. What do you see? twitterwidget-3? Deductive logic; disable that widget and see what happens.
