Is the default template valid XHTML? I clicked the link at the bottom and I get the following:

This page is not Valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional!

Below are the results of attempting to parse this document with an SGML parser.

1.

Line 9, column 102: end tag for "link" omitted, but OMITTAG NO was specified

... - RSS feed" href="/index.php?x=rss">

You may have neglected to close a tag, or perhaps you meant to "self-close" a tag; that is, ending it with "/>" instead of ">".


2.

Line 9, column 0: start tag was here

<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="shootMatt - RSS feed" hr
3.

Line 29, column 14: element "SITE_CALENDAR" undefined

<SITE_CALENDAR>

You have used the element named above in your document, but the document type you are using does not define an element of that name. This error is often caused by incorrect use of the "Strict" document type with a document that uses frames (e.g. you must use the "Frameset" document type to get the "<frameset>" element), or by using vendor proprietary extensions such as "<spacer>" or "<marquee>" (this is usually fixed by using CSS to achieve the desired effect instead).


4.

Line 30, column 5: end tag for "SITE_CALENDAR" omitted, but OMITTAG NO was specified

</div>

Line 29, column 0: start tag was here

<SITE_CALENDAR>
6.

Line 81, column 95: document type does not allow element "form" here; missing one of "object", "applet", "map", "iframe", "ins", "del" start-tag

...='commentform' accept-charset='UTF-8'></a>

The mentioned element is not allowed to appear in the context in which you've placed it; the other mentioned elements are the only ones that are both allowed there and can contain the element mentioned. This might mean that you need a containing element, or possibly that you've forgotten to close a previous element.

One possible cause for this message is that you have attempted to put a block-level element (such as "<p>" or "<table>") inside an inline element (such as "<a>", "<span>", or "<font>").

9.

Line 95, column 6: end tag for element "form" which is not open

</form>

The Validator found an end tag for the above element, but that element is not currently open. This is often caused by a leftover end tag from an element that was removed during editing, or by an implicitly closed element (if you have an error related to an element being used where it is not allowed, this is almost certainly the case). In the latter case this error will disappear as soon as you fix the original problem.

If this error occured in a script section of your document, you should probably read this FAQ entry.

1) do you use version 1.3 or 1.4?

2) in version 1.4 I tried to be aware of using only valid HTML but it could be that the closing tag for the RSS link in the header was forgotten
that is my fault, I was not attentive enough in that case

I will check the actual download version this evening if it ok or not

3) if you get unresolved tags and these tags are for sure not valid HTML then it means that the tags somehow are not recognized

in the case of <SITE_CALENDAR> it means for sure that the addon, which uses this tag is not installed :(

please check that!

Connie, I'm on it. I'm doing a fresh install of 1.4 in order to eliminate any possible upgrade gremlins due to my ignorance.

Thanks, I'll post once I have more info

It can still be installed, just not in use.
