# Correcting Validation Errors

 * I entered my blog [URL](http://thrawnrickle.com) on a validation link suggested
   by a forum member in order to correct a problem displaying my blog in IE. I received
   a list of errors, but I really do not understand how to go about correcting these
   errors. I am very new to WP, and just got my blog up and running. Formerly, it
   was operating on Quickblogcast from Godaddy.
 * I am fairly good at creating pages in HTML, and I have reviewed and understand
   the significant differences between XHTML and HTML. My problem is that I don’t
   know where to go within WP to make the validation corrections. Once I am on the
   correct page with the editable code available, I can find and make the corrections.
 * Would someone please either explain briefly how to access the appropriate code
   pages, or direct me to an appropriate set of instructions that will explain this
   step to me?
 * Thank you very much for your help, and for putting up with a duffer like me!

 * Look at this [link](http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fthrawnrickle.com%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&ss=1&group=1&user-agent=W3C_Validator%2F1.3)
 * You have 99 errors and 93 WARNINGS. It is too much. From the above link you can
   have validation for your other pages/ posts.
 * Using Firebug you can locate the CSS, HTML, etc., and make corrections and re-
   validate.

 * Thank you for your response. I get the problem, and want very much to correct
   the validation errors. I presume Firebug is a program… I will do a Google search
   to find it, and try to apply it to locate the elements I need so I can make te
   corrections.
 * The references in the lin you supplied, i.e. line number and column number, refer
   to what, exactly?
 * Again, thanks!
