# Errors from ‘Valid Xhtml”

 * I got about 15 errors when I validated my xhtml. It said that my page was not
   a valid xhtml page. So, I copied the source code and went through it all line
   by line. I found each objection, but have no idea what to do about any of them.
 * I know some coding but am afraid to touch any of this. What now? Does it really
   matter since it all looks fairly good in Safari? Although, I have to tell you,
   it doesn’t look right in my Fire Fox. It gets a bit messed up and perhaps some
   of these errors are why.

 * From what I can tell the mess display in Firefox is due to bad formatting in 
   [this post](http://glasscatstudios.com/blog1/?p=4), you might want to fix that.

 * And in your header, too. You put a lot of header stuff above the <body> tags.
   That’s a big no-no right there.
 * Correct code matters. It may look okay in Safari, but it probably looks like 
   poop in Explorer. You don’t want that!
 * If you read [this](http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fglasscatstudios.com%2Fblog1%2F%3Fp%3D4&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&ss=1&group=0),
   the explanations below the errors tell you what is wrong. I learned the basics
   this way, trying to get rid of all the errors on my site.
 * If a goober like me can figure out errors, then by gum, you can, too.
