 * Hello,
    Is there a program or ANYTHING, that can help me to correct errors when
   attempting to validate my themes? I’m not fluent in php. So basically what I 
   am looking for is something that I can use that will tell me what the problem
   is and **exactly** how to fix it……or am I in Lala land?
 * Any info would be greatly appreciated!
 * Thanks!

 * [W3C Validator](http://validator.w3.org/) errors are often due to using old, 
   non-XHTML code in WordPress.

 * Knowing these general XHTML rules helps when it comes to fixing validation issues.

 * Hi, Selfmade64856.
 * Are you using Firefox? If so, download the HTML Validator add-on. It’s not a 
   one-click fix (none exist, that I know of), but it’s easier than going through
   the W3C validator.
 * [Here’s how](http://blogingenuity.com/2009/04/08/how-to-validating-your-website-the-easy-way-part-2/)
   I did my validation – without being well-versed in XHTML. Not sure if it’ll help
   you.
