Validate me

The next part to the week 3 tute. WWW Consortium validation!

Yikes, didn't really expect that I would need to run the page I made in the last post through the validator... silly really, considering this tute is about standards and correct coding! :o

Expecting the worse, there weren't many errors. 3 errors and 4 warnings. All 3 errors and 3 of the warnings related to character encoding and doctypes. In layman terms, the webpage didn't start with the correct document headers as outlined by the w3c's HTML 4.01 transitional standards.

Unfortunately that was one area that was overlooked in the tutorial.

You are probably wondering about the 1 warning I haven't talked about yet. Well it turns out I miss used the <b> bold tag and used it as a block level element >.< shouldn't use it to surround a chunk of tags. Ah well.
