 * I just ran my blog through the W3C Markup Validator, and got 76 errors! This 
   is the link:
    [http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Ftable4five.net](http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Ftable4five.net)
 * I don’t understand why the title of my most recent post is coming up with errors.
   The individual letters themselves seem to be causing problems. I wrote the post
   the same way I always do, so I don’t understand what I am doing wrong this time!
 * If anyone has some time, would you please take a look at the errors and advise
   me as to how I am supposed to fix these? I don’t even know where to start! Thank
   you so much.

 * Take out the single quote with the title of “It’s a scary place in my subconscious”
   The validator is thinking the single quote is the end of the title. Not sure 
   why it didn’t get encoded though.

 * Try escaping the single quote by adding a backslash before the quote.
 * There are a lot of validation errors. Most of them refer to the same issues:
   –
   Chamge `<br>` to  (your page is XHTML, not HTML). – Change `&` in urls to `&amp;`.–
   Change `<script LANGUAGE="JavaScript">` and related javascript tags to `<script
   type="text/javascript">` .
 * That will solve most errors. Furthermore, don’t use the same id multiple times;
   an id can be used only once on a page. Use class instead.

 * We had a bunch of validation errors too. When all was said and done it turned
   out to be caused by plugins. We deactivated _all_ of them and ALL of the validation
   errors magically went away. It’s worth a try and easy enough to check if you 
   want to give it a try 🙂
