Re: feed validator error message-request for help.

Hi Ryan, thanks for your interest, sounds like you know what you are doing.  I used WordPress free blog creator service, whereby WordPress "farms out" the basic creation of a blog page to get you up and running. This first work is done by a volunteer, but the volunteer does not go back and correct any problems.  I have no complaint with this system, since I am a fish out of water, I got something I never could have created, but now I think I have to work on this myself, and I will take it a step at a time.  I will use the wordcleaner application to check it out.  Just for your info and not asking you to help, this is the site I am writing about:http://www.conductknockoutbroadcastinterviews.com/blog/.  OK thanks for this input and feel free to come back to me with any thoughts you have, but
  please don't feel obligated, you are OK, Ed.

  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.
