 * Can anyone tell me how I could make this XHTML valid?
    Thanks! `<?php $feedUrl
   = "http://www.azcentral.com/rss/feeds/news.xml"; // enter your feed's url here
   $feedOut = getSomeFeed($feedUrl, 5, false, "feed-azcentral", '', 36); // enter
   a cache name if (!empty($feedOut)) { start_block("AZ News", "feedread", "li");
   echo $feedOut; end_block(); } ?>

 * Well, that is all PHP code, not XHTML. What specific issues are you having with
   validation? The validation tools that are available can be a bit cryptic, I know,
   but they really are your best bet for narrowing down specific problems.

 * I really dont understand any of them LOL
    Here they are: Line 253, column 17:
   document type does not allow element “li” here; missing one of “ul”, “ol”, “menu”,“
   dir” start-tag `<li id='feedread'> The mentioned element is not allowed to appear
   in the context in which you've placed it; the other mentioned elements are the
   only ones that are both allowed there and can contain the element mentioned. 
   This might mean that you need a containing element, or possibly that you've forgotten
   to close a previous element. One possible cause for this message is that you 
   have attempted to put a block-level element (such as "" or "<table>") inside 
   an inline element (such as "", "<span>", or "<font>"). ✉ Line 264, column 99:

 * edreams,
    I just visited your site and had a look for myself. I think that the
   best way for you to solve this is to go to David Chait’s site and post something
   there, since this is specific to one of his plugins. [http://www.chait.net](http://www.chait.net)
