 * I just ran my blog [MomReviews ](http://momreviews.net)through the validator,
   and among the 160 (Gulp!) errors that I got back, were ones like this:
 * # Error Line 38 column 58: end tag for element “h2” which is not open.
 *  Review of “What the Dead Know” </h2>
 * That was for a post title, which I just type in to the title box. I’m not putting
   any tags in it myself, so how do I fix this?
 * Also, I had quite a few of these:
 * Error Line 43 column 2: document type does not allow element “p” here; missing
   one of “button”, “map”, “object”, “ins”, “del”, “noscript” start-tag.
 * <p>And thus begins the suspenseful book “What the Dead Know” by Laur
 * Again, I’m using the Visual Rich editor, so I’m not putting p tags in anywhere,
   so how do I take them out?
 * This is the full list of errors, if anyone is interested in taking a look!

 * Hello
 * It looks as though there are some mistakes in your themes files:
 * The headings on the front page start with an h3 and end with an h2. 😉
 * `<h3 class="entry-header">[Review of “What the Dead Know”](http://momreviews.net/2007/05/06/review-of-what-the-dead-know/)
   </h2>`
 * To fix this you need to edit index.php in your active themes folder.
 * I am thinking the next error you asked about has to do with this error. Fix the
   first one and see, then I will help with otehr errors if needed. 🙂
