Most of those are likely to be snowball errors, or errors of little consequence. Take the ampersand error (error 1) for example.

Well, at least we're not as bad as them.

Do these errors affect this site's performance at all?

Indeed, almost every error is related to the & or = inside the PHP generated links, that's why I use the XHTML transitional doctype. I recently re-wrote all the interlopers HTML & CSS and it is compliant so don't be sucked in by the 88 errors or whatever it is.

There are no code errors that will affect rendering of the page, so you can sleep easy at night. Sites that have dynamic content are tricker to validate.

Blink, are you trying to tell me that this website is so much more awesome than every other one, that it is indeed DYNAMIC!?

Got it down to 25 errors with a couple of small fixes.

I know what's causing the other <p> tag errors but it's a tricky fix as they are created dynamically so it will require some thought. Some of the other content pages have a couple of silly errors too.

Perhaps one day when I have time I will fix them all, but they are so minor the site will load fine for now.

The site is crated dynamically?

Doesn't that mean it's slightly...alive?

Valid code is never pointless, it's a web developer thing :-)

Only one man will bother to fix 88 pointless errors in less than a month. I think we have the best web admin in the world:D
