   Not sure how this happened or where to look for this error.
   But I was editing a post and when I went to view my updated work i noticed that the text in the footer of my main page changed color from white to red. Along with this all this red text turned into a link to a page on my site. Upon further investigation all of the links in my sidebar2 changed to this same link as well. When I navigate to other pages in my site all links and text are what they should be as far as color and the link destination. So this problem only appears in my main landing page.
   If someone could take a look at my blog and let me know the fix that would be great.

   two things:

   1. popups suck. especially popups that try to sell you shit.

   2. you need to work on making your site valid:

   http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http://www.knockoutodors.com/

   if text turned into a link, then you have an unclosed <a href= somewhere, meaning you forgot the closing </a>

   If you have a certain color or size of text, then you forgot to close a font tag, a span tag, etc..

   Im sorry, but I will not wade through pages to locate that stuff. I charge by the hour for that crap. Perhaps someone more amiable than me will come along.

   whammi or whatever you name is. If you want to help me thats cool but your comments about pop ups on my site trying to sell shit is not welcome. Keep your comments to yourself.

   It was there for free access to an ebook i wrote nothing more other than building up my mailing list for my site.
   So before jumping to conclusions and making unkind statements get your shit straight.

   As far as validating my site, i am noticing all the mistakes that are in my code are being generated from the fckeditor. So I guess that editor is going to the scrap heap. I was using the <!--more--> tag from it and that is causing errors.

   The link error should have shown up a few days ago because I was missing the / in my closing tag. However it just started to show up tonight.

   I do thank you for the link to the validator site, i wasn't aware of that site.

   you ask for help on your site -- why NOT disable the popup thing while you want ppl to go look at it. I dont care that you have a popup, generally, I care that you ask for help, and that someone, namely me, that decides to go take a look, has to see it.

   and btw, its a testament to how little attention, save closing them, that ppl pay to those dreaded things, by the way I assumed that it was a "buy this" thing. Its really wouldnt matter me to if you were giving crap away. If it weasles its way around my popup blocker then its evil.

   your welcome, and its whooami, its spelled in English.

   I spelled your name wrong on purpose just to give you shit for the pop up comment.

   Anyway, going through and validating everything and fixing little errors here and there.

   It still shows validation errors for opening and closing html tags that should be there. Not sure why it is continuing to call it an error.
