 * Hello!
    I configured my index.php a bit too my liking and it was totally out 
   of whack with valid xhtml (had about 15 errors) so i cleaned it up, but there’s
   two last problems with it and i’m having issues fixing up, if someone could help
   me/suggest how to fix the last two problems I would be EXTREMELY greatful! [http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.livingthematrix.com%2Fblog%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=%28detect+automatically%29&ss=1](http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.livingthematrix.com%2Fblog%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=%28detect+automatically%29&ss=1)
   Thank for all of your help as always! Joe

 * I have just had a protracted struggle with googleads and the validator. Here 
   is a wierd thought. Immediately after the open ul there is a br tag. Now I wonder.
   Nothing else seems obviously amiss.

 * Well I know that is what it _says_ The problem is that we cant see a missing 
   ul anywhere obvious. In my experience with the validator sometimes we need to
   look outside the wording of the immediate error to what is _causing _ it. HTH.
   We have all been there. And then some.

 * Above googleads, you have:
    li ul li and below: /li /li /ul Change that order
   maybe ?

 * I agree with Root …. sometimes one error masks another, and until you get *that*…

 * If you alter that pattern above, and then add another /ul under them, it should
   be okay ?
