Hello again everyone it’s been a while since I have entered a post on here buy alas I am stuck once again.I checked my website over with the W3C VALIDATION SERVICE and was surprised to find that my website www.dogdied.co.uk had 204 faults with it I have brought this down to 81 faults but now I need help again guys as I can not solve the problems any more I am now scratching my head with these faults.
Can I ask one of you wonderful guys to help me out once again and view my coding against W3C and to try and solve these little problems for me by adjusting the code then posting it on to me.
Thanks in advance

hi - just had a quick look, your html contains a lot of empty tags, things like open bold tag immediately followed by close bold tag, I can't show them here because the tags don't show easily, there are also places where you have images but no ALT text associated with them.
This is probably the result of a lot of editing. How does it happen? If you have some text in DW that you make bold it gets surrounded by tags, if you then delete that text the tags don't automatically get deleted, so they can remain there in your code.
You might be able to get rid of some of them easily by using the DW facility under the Commands menu, - Cleanup, that should take out a lot of them, another thing you could try is letting DW convert from HTML to XHTML which will tidy up the coding a lot.
After that it's going to be a case of running the validation and then going through the code.
In my copy of Firefox I have the Tidy extension, version 0.7.9.5, so when I view the source of your page there are windows at the bottom that show the errors and warning, there is also a feature to try to tidy up the code. It's worth installing, it gave me 238 items on your homepage.
BTW in your page title you have bereved and in your description meta tag you have who's, it would be worth running the spell checker over the page.
