Re: feed validator error message-request for help.

At first glance, it appears that you've written a post in Microsoft  
Word (or Frontpage, or another Microsoft tool), saved it as HTML, and  
managed to get that "WordML" into your feed.

The HTML save/export on every Microsoft application I've ever worked  
with has been god-awful.  I don't know what blog/feed publishing tool  
you're using, but I would recommend ditching whatever Microsoft tools  
you're currently using for content creation (i.e. Word, Frontpage,  
etc.) as they always dump garbage like this into HTML content.  I  
would also say the same thing about Apple's iWeb, but it doesn't  
sound like you're using that.

Whenever I've received WordML documents from clients, I've used the  
tool at http://textism.com/wordcleaner/ to clean them up.
