 * i’m trying to validate my code in my index.php page, but reading through the 
   errors i am unable to locate them/fix them. the closed tag errors and so forth
   don’t exist in the actual index.php page, but perhaps periphrially in other WP
   docs? any/all help would be appreciated!!

 * Check your tables. It appears that haven’t closed a table and and a <td> somewhere.
 * Also, why are you mixing divs and tables? Your design doesn’t look good in mac
   FF 1.0.6, so I can’t see that as the reason? I highly suggest rethinking the 
   design code.
 * Have you looked through the articles in the codex?

 * Serious problems there. You have table tags below the closing body tag. My advice
   is to start afresh with a new default install into your root directory, and then
   to go step by step with your changes, validating/fixing each small change as 
   you go along, and keeping a record of exactly what you did – an essential thing
   for the future.
 * Alternatively, if you are using someone else’s theme, better to use a different
   one.
