Ive ran the check, and it has 28 errors. Im new to WP and this kind of coding so I'm in the dark as in regards as to how I should fix the errors.
IS there any code gurus out there that could show me what is needed to be replaced to make sure my page is validated?
Many thanks!
For starters .. go back to the validator and check the option at the top that says "view source" and then revalidate your site. That will allow you to click the line numbers and see what it is pointing out.
As for being new to "this kind of coding" this coding is, for all intents and purposes, souped up HTML.
That means that the first error is pointing out that you have a opening list tag <li> without an opening <ul> or <ol>.
A quick primer might be in order: http://www.w3schools.com/
The other thing to remember is that xhtml is ALL lowercase where plain old HTML didnt care.
I cant speak for everyone here but I seriously doubt anyone is going to troubleshoot all those errors for you. In the end its better that you learn how to do it anyway -- its an integral part of being a web master, atleast a responsible one :)
Of course, if 27 other people come along and answer one error than I guess you wont need to learn.

Thanks for the reply. I shall attempt to fix it. Fingers crossed!
I take it that any editing should be done on the index.php?

Not nocessarily. If the faulty item is in your sidebar >> edit sidebar.php; if it's in the footer section >> edit footer.php. I hope you got the idea.
