XHTML validation problem

    Below are the results of checking this document for XML
    well-formedness and validity.

    1. Error Line 131 column 13: document type does not allow element “p”
    here; assuming missing “li” start-tag.

    “\

      <p*>*A blog dedicated to casual and high-class fashion,\”

      2. Error Line 133 column 106: end tag for “li” omitted, but OMITTAG NO was specified.

      “\…tte.co.uk/?page_id=2”>more…</ul*>*

    \”

    You may have neglected to close an element, or perhaps you meant to “self-close” an element, that is, ending it with “/>” instead of “>”.

    You can see the website at http://www.geekette.co.uk and they are
    referring to the sidebar. I cannot seem to be able to get rid of these two errors and if I just remove to tags it results in even more errors.

    The brackets I *starred* are the ones which were highlighted in red.
    Help?

    A link to the actual blog itself would be more useful than posting snippets of strange things here.

    Okay, first problem is in the about section of your sidebar. You have something that looks like this:

    <li><h2>About</h2>
    <ul><p>A blog dedicated ...
    </ul></li></p>

    That’s not valid. Change it to this:
    <li><h2>About</h2>
    <ul><li><p>A blog dedicated ...
    </p></li></ul></li>

    Tags have to be nested properly, and a UL must contain at least one LI.
