 * I noticed that my blog isn’t validating and it appears that the problem is is
   continually being insterted between posts.
 * How do I correct the current errors and how do I prevent it in the future?
 * Thanks

 * It would be a start to provide a link to your site first?

 * So what is being inserted between posts? Must be a tag of some sort – if you’re
   going to post things like tags you need to put backticks around them or they 
   won’t show….
 * So is it `<br />` or `<li>`, or something else?

 * Your problem stems from the fact that you’re trying to combine HTML and XHTML
   into the same document. You can’t have <font> tags in XHTML, while you can’t 
   have /> in tags in HTML. Decide on which markup language you’re using, then revalidate.
