 * I’m having a problem with my <strike> tags on my page. Here is both ways that
   i’ve tried the code:
    - **The Wedding list**
 *  - *<strike> Book church<\strike>
    - * Send "save the date" cards
    - * Book DJ
    - * Pick out Flowers
    - * Book Hotel
    - * Book photographer/video
    - * Pick out invitations
    - * Pick out shoes/headpieces
 * and
    - **The Wedding list **
 *  - *<strike> Book church
    - * Send "save the date" cards
    - * Book DJ
    - * Pick out Flowers
    - * Book Hotel
    - * Book photographer/video
    - * Pick out invitations
    - * Pick out shoes/headpieces
 * 
    No matter which way i do it, it strikes out EVERYTHING following the begin 
   strike tag, ignores the end strike tag and prints it as text! What is going on??
   Any help would be GREATLY appreciated, I am losing my mind over this because 
   I *KNOW* i’m doing it right, right?? PS…only the FIRST line in the list should
   be striken. 🙂

 * this is just me, but I’d get rid of the strong around that ul, and make it a 
   class or id applied to that ul itself. it’s an extra unneccesary tag likewise
   the non-semantic `<strike>`, I’d make a class on the li, such as `<li class="
   gotit">`blah`

 * using del instead worked, so thanks whoever suggested that!
    I know nothing about
   xhtml or classid, or any of that, i only know some basic html tags and thought
   theyd work here, guess some of them don’t. Thanks for the help though!! D

 * I added the closing del here, so hopefully it will be fixed in this post. You
   are close to validation. End your img tags with a “/” and close the strong tag
   after “The Wedding list”. REMEMBER close your tags on your blog AND here!
    My
   grandfather had a parrot in his hardware store for some 50 years. Every time 
   a patron came in and left the door open he would mutter, “Goddammit, I feel a
   draft” and shout, “SHUT THE DOOR!”

 * That is it. Its borked. The honeymoon is over. (thanks to Nuclear Moose). The
   forum layout has disintegrated.
