 * I have this theme almost finished but have on single.php pages the following 
   errors stop validation. I have been at this all day trying to figure it out and
   just can’t. Any ideas?
 * d’oh almost forgot url [http://www.breadnroses.ca/inprogress/2008/05/hello-world/](http://www.breadnroses.ca/inprogress/2008/05/hello-world/)
 * # Error Line 378, Column 6: end tag for “div” omitted, but OMITTAG NO was specified.
 * </body>
 * ✉
 * You may have neglected to close an element, or perhaps you meant to “self-close”
   an element, that is, ending it with “/>” instead of “>”.
    # Info Line 67, Column
   0: start tag was here .
 * <div id=”wrap”>
 * # Error Line 378, Column 7: XML Parsing Error: Opening and ending tag mismatch:
   div line 67 and body .
 * </body>

    # Error Line 380, Column 7: XML Parsing Error: Opening and ending tag mismatch:
   body line 62 and html .
 * </html>

    # Error Line 380, Column 7: XML Parsing Error: Premature end of data in tag
   html line 2 .

 * You don’t have enough `</div>`s there.
    Here’s what I like to do to check myself:
 *     ```
       <div id="wrapper">
       <div id="masthead">Masthead contents</div><!-- /masthead -->
       <div id="main">
       <div id="content">
       <h3 class="storytitle">Title</h3>
       <div class="post">
       Blah blah blah
       </div><!-- /post -->
       </div><!-- /content --?
       <div id="sidebar">
       sidebar contents
       </div><!-- /sidebar -->
       </div><!-- /main -->
       <div class="clearer"></div>
       <div id="footer">
       footer contents
       </div><!-- /footer -->
       </div><!-- /wrapper -->
       ```
   
 * This forces me to make sure all the divs are closed. HTH. 😉

 * I looked and I looked and I didn’t see an open div, but I stuck one in anyway
   and it worked. 🙂 WOOHOO!
 * Thanks!
