hi

i have had my site www.gamer-art.com up and running for a couple of days and someone has just messaged me with this comment

"it doesn't validate for either CSS or HTML. There's only a few things wrong, should be quite easy to fix"

he then gave me 2 links http://validator.w3.org/ and http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/

what do i need to do to resolve the problems and how are they affecting my site?

i'm a beginner so be gentle with the tech talk

thanks

If your code doesnt "validate", it could show up funny in different browsers. The links the member gave you are to validators that help you to find errors in your code. You just type in your website address in the search box and it will find these errors. For example, when I typed in your address at validator.w3.org, it came up with this error: "No Character Encoding Found! Falling back to UTF-8." That means that you did not set the character encoding for this site (similar to the language you want...or characters, you know how japanese has a completely different character set from our ABC's). You will probably want to set it to UTF-8, which is what the validator defaulted to. However, if someone used an older browser, it could default to some other encoding and show the user weird alien looking type! lol!
