  I have this error in the HTML validator. Theme is Fjords04.

  here’s a snipet

  id="links" class="widget widget_links"><h2 class="widgettitle">Liens

  I have 2 link widgets, so 2 “id” links. I suppose that’s why I get this error. So the only way to have the page validate is merge the two links category into one?

  many thanks in advance!

  Unfortunately some themes here at wordpress.com don’t validate, because of duplicate ids or badly nested html code. I wouldn’t worry about it, though, since validation only indicates adherence to a w3c standard (tipically xhtml 1.0 strict), but it’s no guarantee that the page will look good on all browsers.
