 * I’m so sorry – I meant to post back on resolution.
 * We had to do a fresh install of WP to fix the problem. It’s working now, though.
 * We suspect it had something to do with upgrading from 2.0 to 2.0.1.
 * Thanks for all the help.

 * No – the external file’s host is totally unrelated to me. Ah well, it doesn’t
   appear likely to break anything.
 * I think I’m gonna call it good for now. The major problems, at least, are solved.
 * Thanks for your help and patience, vkaryl.

 * Vkaryl, you just slipped into Greek on me. I tried last week to get this right,
   and failed miserably.
 * Can you tell me what you mean, specific to the code? For instance:
 * a href=”[http://easy-web-stats.com/users/index.php”><script](http://easy-web-stats.com/users/index.php”><script)
   type=”text/javascript” language=”javascript” src=”[http://easy-web-stats.com/users/whos_online.php?id=www.polimom.com”></script><noscript>JavaScript](http://easy-web-stats.com/users/whos_online.php?id=www.polimom.com”></script><noscript>JavaScript)
   required!</noscript> /a
 * Thanks very much for all your help – and LesBessant’s – already. You’ve been 
   very kind (as people seem to be here, always…)

 * The last error is:
 *  document type does not allow element “noscript” here
 * It’s in the sidebar – should have been pretty inoffensive, but guess not.
 * Re: the WYSIWYG… yup. No doubt I’ll be killing that. lol.

 * Wow! That was too strange.
 * Les, that was a great spot. I’ve been staring at this for 2 days and didn’t see
   it (darned trees in that big forest!)
 * So – there were three posts with oddball characters, all of which had done something
   strange with <i>some</i> quotation marks (but not all). Fixing those has me back
   in validation-land, with my one error that is slowly driving me insane, but so
   far not breaking things.
 * vkaryl – I write my posts directly into the admin “write” interface. I use the
   WYSIWYG in combination w/ the HTML pop-up. I’ve not used an external editor or
   anything else.
 * That charset isn’t looking good, btw. (ack!)

 * Hi vkaryl –
 * Can’t get the validator to show me the source… but I used the notepad2, and find
   myself singularly unenlightened by what I find. I tried to validate the main 
   page ([http://www.polimom.com](http://www.polimom.com)). The lines to which it
   referred are:
 * Line 301: </rdf:RDF> –>
 * Line 304: <div class=”title” id=”post-443″>
 * Line 307: Islamophobia?
 * Line 334: <!–<rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf=”[http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#&#8221](http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#&#8221);
 *  And all I found on Line 358 is text from a post!?!
 * I’m totally stumped.

 * Help! I have exactly the same problem, but I can’t tell where the error is to
   save my life! The validator isn’t letting me see its version of the lines, so
   I’m pulling my hair out…
 * [http://www.polimom.com](http://www.polimom.com)
 * My error: Sorry, I am unable to validate this document because on line 272, 275,
   278, 305, 329 it contained one or more bytes that I cannot interpret as utf-8(
   in other words, the bytes found are not valid values in the specified Character
   Encoding). Please check both the content of the file and the character encoding
   indication.

 * Hi petit,
 * Thank you for the quick response.
 * I tried your suggestion, but it met with the same result.

 * Hmmm….
 * I moved the problematic scripts to a different spot on the index.php. I’m now
   down to 4 errors (!), all of which seem to be complaints about “general entity
   java”.

 * As ever, sleep helped. (smile…)
 * So – the hnav is fixed in FF… but I still have 27 validation errors on the main
   page. Onward and upward!

 * Sigh…
 * Now I’ve got display problems. Firefox not showing the hnav (above the header
   image) the way it was. It’s still displaying correctly in IE, though.
 * I had it down to 25 errors (gag), but had to reinsert breaks in the sidebar to
   make the text center properly to the right of the image – so back up to 27.
 * Some of the invalidation is coming from WP itself, it looks like. It creates 
   the links from the “get” php code, and creates its own code (doesn’t it?). I 
   don’t know how I can do anything about some of this.
 * Then again, I’m tired. Sigh… More worried at this point about the top hnav in
   firefox.

 * My gracious! No doubt you’re correct, vkaryl, about the errors to which she referred.
 * Sadly, my coding isn’t up to fixing these problems. I’ll have to hope the site
   doesn’t break or something while I stumble through some old lessons.
 * Thanks, everyone. I’m probably going to redirect from the old blogsite tomorrow.
   Then everything that could go wrong, no doubt will.

 * Hi Kahil,
 * Thanks – I guess that’s what I’ll have to do.
 * btw – did you (or anyone?) experience any errors, such as andrea referred to?
   I haven’t had any other issues, besides the image float…
 * I’ve tested in Firefox and IE 6.0 – no errors. Anyone?
