Module 3 Tasks - WWW Standards W3C Validation

Test your web page according to the W3C standards by going to their ‘validator’ page. If your page does not conform (it probably won’t!) record in your learning log why you think this is: try and identify the particular tags or code that are causing trouble. Are the problems related mostly to display, usability, or accessibility?

At the first attempt my webpage came up with several errors. Most of these were 'typos' by me. Others were mistakes that I could best describe as 'syntax' errors. The page still worked and looked how I wanted it to but the validator still found error. I discovered that if I changed the location of some of my tags, they still worked and passed with the validator.

Still there was one error that I couldn't figure out. I tried swapping a few things around but I couldnt get rid of it. The page looks how I want it to, so I'm not too worried.

I have attached a screen shot of the error. If anyone can suggest anything, you are more than welcome.

Thanks.
