 * New WP user here! Trying to validate my post at:
    [http://christian-dating-service-plus.com/eharmony-dating-service.htm](http://christian-dating-service-plus.com/eharmony-dating-service.htm)
   How do I fix this error. Thanks much. I get this one error reading:
 * Error Line 127, column 95: ID “commentform” already defined .
 * …comments-post.php” method=”post” id=”commentform”>
    Hi All:
 * An “id” is a unique identifier. Each time this attribute is used in a document
   it must have a different value. If you are using this attribute as a hook for
   style sheets it may be more appropriate to use classes (which group elements)
   than id (which are used to identify exactly one element).
 * Thanks for any help.

 * Give the div your commentform form resides in a different id, or change it to
   a css class (i.e. `class="commentform"`, then change any reference to #commentform
   in your stylesheet to .commentform). As noted by the validator, id’s must be 
   unique on a page.

 * Actually it also say how to correct it:
    _ Line 122, column 9: ID “commentform”
   first defined here <div id=”commentform”>
 * And yes, you have the same ID on the same page:
 * `<div id="commentform">
    <form action="http://christian-dating-service-plus.com/
   wp-comments-post.php" method="post" id="commentform">
   
    Make the div a class…
   and edit your stylesheet accordingly.

 * Kafkaesqui and Moshu:
 * Thanks so much…I am going to get to it. I am new to CSS and PHP and WordPress.
   But I feel like I know you guys because I have been inhaling all the wonderful
   and helpful comments you have made to others on the forum…I am slowly learning,
   and WP is awesome. Again, many thanks..
