 * Hi All,
 * Just check the source on my homepage and noticed that I had 374 validation errors.
 * Most of them appear as this:
    **line 269 column 4 – Warning: ‘<‘ + ‘/’ + letter
   not allowed here**
 * From what I’ve researched you get this if you have code like:
    **<script …>document.
   write(“</foo>”)</script> **???
 * Another example: this is showing up as an error:
    [Read More<**/**a> </div> where
   the closing a-tag is showing up as an error???? seems right to me.
 * Anyone know why I may be getting these errors?
 * Thanks!
