It is primarily a discussion forum on the validator, and sometimes the community on this list helps other users understand and fix some problems on a given site, but unless you have a precise question on a specific error message, I don't think your request is appropriate. Validating a page isn't obvious, and it takes a reasonable understanding of HTML, but if you need general guidance: - try to fix issues in order. For instance, in http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fmike.freed-wings.org the first error is the lack of a DOCTYPE. So, see http://validator.w3.org/docs/help.html#faq-doctype and learn how to add a DOCTYPE. - Then proceed to fix the other problems. Put the validator in "verbose" mode to get as much information on every error, and read the explanations carefully. - You'll certainly need to read and understand http://validator.w3.org/docs/help.html#faq-ampersand too Then, the rest is only a matter of perseverance. It may be a bit arduous, but you'll have a much better understanding of HTML after a while. Good luck. -- olivier
