I’ve already suggested a starting point:
PCMech Forums - View Single Post - html tidy
However, I may have been assuming a couple of things. Is this a plain HTML page, or are you using a content management system?
I went to PC Mech forums but they sent me here By you I assume…do I need to do this by hand
this is from webs.com kinda a point and click website maker…I thought it was putting in the correct codes…til I had to validate per my seo thingy I spent 200 on…frustrating when you don’t know or understand code…the first thind this editor program i got says
<head> should not be in plain text…How much will it cost me to get this stuff fixed by a pro who knows what they are doing
Yes…I referred you here for any SEO questions you might have.
With point-and-click website templates, the quality of the code typically isn’t great, hence some of the validation errors.
I’m unfamiliar with the service you’re using, so unfortunately, I probably won’t be able to walk you through it step-by-step.
What software are you trying to edit your site with? What SEO software did you purchase?
If this really isn’t something you want to tackle yourself, you can try the SitePoint Marketplace. Working on it yourself just takes time, patience, and some elbow grease.
I’m Using Html kit HTML Kit for more than editing HTML and IBP internet business promoter a SEO company…I’m Gonna Give it a shot 174 errors piece of cake wink on that site you just gave just tell them what i got and they give a price?
Most of them are simple errors and can be fixed fairly easily with a little manual editing. However there are a few instances of propriety markup like EMBED and the Facebook code which will probably never pass the validation (unless you use JS to trick the validator).
Most of those errors were just the same simple issues (same ones appeared several dozen times), e.g. not providing alt attributes on images or unescaped ampersands.
