You do otherwise you would not have tried to validate the document.

If your document is "Standards Compliant" it:
 o Conforms to a given set of rules.
 o Is therefore generally easier to follow and debug.
 o May cause less problems with search engines and browsers.

Some regular list members intentionally do not follow standard DTD's but
these members know more about what they are doing rather than less.

If you pick (b.) just start with Error Number 1 and work down. You will
find that once you start, one fix can make several errors go away,
alternatively one fix can apply to several errors. This will mop them up
pretty quickly.

Try starting with a search on "dtd". You will probably find "HTML 4.01
transitional" the easiest to work with innitially.

For other errors you can search "html input tutorial" or similar.
