• My group blog about Australian literature and culture is at http://sarsaparillablog.net I’d really appreciate some feedback on appearance and general tidiness.

    I *think* I’m almost done setting it up. It partly depends on what you helpful people have to say. I’m aware that the html doesn’t validate but as I’m a total novice here I don’t know whether that matters a lot – or how to repair things.

    well, looking forward to your comments.

  • It looks like the theme has a few bugs, and if your just setting up the blog or website, at least you do not have to worry much there.

    I see that your post div has a missing </p>, that will always bring up an error, but to ammend it you would need to open up the php files and alter stuff in there. I think the post.php would show that there is a missing </p> for some reason.

    Maybe you could try downloading the latest version of the theme, and overwrite the post.php and maybe others.

    The errors in the html do matter, and WordPress will be error free when you first set it it up.

    The best way to test it out is to first set up your blog, get the theme you want, then add your menus and check to see they validate. Just validate often, and after each major change. Check them out and you’ll spot the errors early. 56 errors sounds bad, but its nothing really. Odds are fixing one or two things can clear up a load of errors.

    Also, turning off the visual rich editor and the close xhtml tags might help.

    You have a WordPress 2.02 blog and the theme you use validates on other blogs so I do not think it is the theme at fault.

    The blog looks good, a nice design and easy enough to read.

    Thank you! That’s useful. I’ll work on fixing the html.
