   I recently added a tag cloud using the following code to the sidebar in the Paalm theme:

   <?php if ( function_exists('wp_tag_cloud') ) : ?>
   <li>
   <h2>Popular Tags</h2>
   <ul>
   <?php wp_tag_cloud('smallest=8&largest=22'); ?>
   </ul>
   </li>
   <?php endif; ?>

   After doing so my blog fails its XHTML transitional validation with the these errors:

   Line 283, Column 124: document type does not allow element "a" here; assuming missing "li" start-tag.

   …cs' rel="tag" style='font-size: 8pt;'>3Dfx

   Line 417, Column 143: end tag for "li" omitted, but OMITTAG NO was specified.

   …yle='font-size: 8pt;'>YouTube

   Exact picture here

   Is this something I am doing or a bug in the tag cloud?

   Many thanks

   I figured this out, it was down to me not really knowing enough about PHP.

   Thanks

   So what was the problem?

   I do the above and I get a column instead of the cloud. If I remove the
   li and ul tags I get the cloud but not valid xhtml.
