 * Hey, I finally got my blog up and running but when I use Internet Exlorer I get
   a Error Message and it closes the browser. Anyone know why?

 * I fixed two errors thanks to your guide. Now I need to address the remaining 
   errors. Does anyone have any fixes for these?

 * font should not be used in your html/php page, as it is a deprecated element 
   in xhtml 1.0 transitional, which is what your DTD claims your page is. Font styles
   defined in your CSS.
 * `<em>` is an accepted, valid tag. It appears it’s not closed properly.
 * `<a>` is also, obviously, a valid tag, which also needs to be closed.

 * Open tag: `<em>`
    Close tag: `</em>`
 * I suggest you read up on basic HTML if you don’t know what closing a tag means.
   There are some good tutorials floating around, google with “html tutorial”…

 * Please don’t take this advice the wrong way, but you really should take the time
   to learn the basics of HTML and CSS otherwise your site management will continue
   to give you grief. Trust me, it will be time well worth investing.

 * I have been getting this error in Internet Explorer 7.0, and when I ran my site
   through validation, it shows it is even responding to the Google validation meta
   tag in the header, which you need to track the indexing stats of your site in
   Google.
 * So until IE 7.0 relaxs a bit on demanding ultra web-standards compliance, I don’t
   know if you will fully be able to get away from this.
