  I’ve got a couple of validation errors that I am struggling to repair. I have generated the following report which highlights four errors:

  http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Ftheraffishdandy.wordpress.com%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0

  The errors do not appear in the text of my posts but in the final two lines of code on the page which I do not know how to repair.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Hmm….since those are theme related things I don’t know if there is anything you can do. Maybe let staff know about the theme giving the validation errors?

  The problem is because one of your posts is using the more option in the middle of some HTML div tags. When the post is split up for display on the front page, the closing div tag is not output. This is also causing your sidebar to appear at the bottom of the page.

  You can go through and edit the posts, switch to the HTML editor, and look for a <div> tag that doesn’t have a matching </div> before your usage of <!--more-->
