   Ok, when I first toyed with wordpress I changed something in the header on the theme I was using which resulted in a content=""/> text appearing on the top of my page. I have since switched themes to Amazing Grace Blue, however the error message still shows and the top of my page is not formatted correctly..
   Here is a link to my site:

   I would be grateful for any imput on how to fix this....

   Thanks,
   Dan

   content=""/> would be in your header.php which is replaced when you change themes. I didn't see that on your site so I assume that it is a local caching problem on your machine.

   That makes sense but I cleared my cache and it still shows...

   header.php

   comin in off this line:

   <meta name="<meta name=\"google-site-verification\" content=\"NamaTG4pPLQkvC2mVH644LNnxg0_OHR_ufFQz_t01cM\" />" content="" /><!--[if IE]><style type="text/css">.ratemulti .starsbar .gdcurrent { -ms-filter:"progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(Opacity=70)"; filter: alpha(opacity=70); }</style><![endif]-->

   that's quite a jumble there, assuming it should be maybe 2 lines, with extra stuff deleted?
   

   <meta name="google-site-verification" content="NamaTG4pPLQkvC2mVH644LNnxg0_OHR_ufFQz_t01cM" />
   <!--[if IE]><style type="text/css">.ratemulti .starsbar .gdcurrent { -ms-filter:"progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(Opacity=70)"; filter: alpha(opacity=70); }</style><![endif]-->

   That code is from Plugins AOF SEO Site Verifier and GD Star Rating...I was having the issue before installing both of them...

   well...that is where the issue is coming from...

   Ive used GD star with no probs, I'm sure the other plugin is to blame. I'd kill the AOF SEO plugin

   Is there a functionality that plugin offers that others don't have?

   it puts the meta file in for Google,Bing and Yahoo etc. for site verification...I will have to see if there is a different way to do this... I deactivated but the issue is still there it appears..

   yeah, this is still there:
   <meta name="<meta name=\"google-site-verification\" content=\"NamaTG4pPLQkvC2mVH644LNnxg0_OHR_ufFQz_t01cM\" />" content="" />

   that's not hard coded into your headre.php at all?

   if it's not there, ya gotta figure out where its coming from

   the only thing that does is isert your google tracking into your header.

   You can do that yourself easily, just insert the verification codes into your header.php file in your theme where you see other meta stuff, I always just drop my own in rather than use a plugin
