 * Not sure why I am getting this error, but when I look at the source code of my
   site it shows the following error: (An “a” start tag seen but an element of the
   same type was already open. End tag “a” violates nesting rules).
 * Not sure what is causing the error: [http://postimg.org/image/b16ka2ku1/full/](http://postimg.org/image/b16ka2ku1/full/)

 * I think it might be on account of the anchor-link above the link that is highlighted
   in red. It doesn’t seem to have a closing anchor tag so when you start your next
   link, it is likely causing an error.

 * Thanks for the feedback.
 * Where would the suggested change be implemented to close the anchor link?

 * This might help illustrate what I mean: [http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_links.asp](http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_links.asp)
 * On line 284 I would try adding `</a>` after your current listed code.
