    that is my blog. To the right of the Competition Accessories title there is an RSS and Email button. These do not work, is there any code or anything I need to add to my pages to put this into effect

    bump, this is urgent

    the rss feed portion works fine, the email currently does not.

    it may need to be edited in header.php, but hard to tell…. it may also be a theme option

    If its not a theme option look in header.php for the line that starts with <div class=”rss”>

    the email code looks like

    <a href="#"><FONT COLOR="#FF0000">EMAIL</FONT></a></div>

    and change the a href="#" to `a href=”mailto:your email”‘

    Also, your theme has some fairly serious coding issues? Did it come like that or have you been editing stuff?

    yeah i fixed the rss and email feeds…my theme uses efrog so alot of weirdness comes from that.

    other than that I have been editing it to fit my needs…I am fairly new to this so it has been trial and error on a few things. what errors do you see

    Take a look at your output code here

    The main things as far as structure is that a site has one <head> section, and one <body> section

    So in your code, you open the <head> on line 3
    -It closes on 27
    -Body opens on 28
    -line 96 and 97 belongs in the <head> section, it’s already there in lines 4 and 7
    -line 127 opens another body section

    And then I don’t even see a closing body or html code at all…
    Which the last 2 lines of footer.php should always be

    </body>
</html>

    Those are the major things I found, the validator can help you a fair bit. Not every error matters, but some of those things do

    oh wow, i have never seen that site before, thank you…as i said i am learning still. I dont think I have done to badly considering what i came in with and what i have done to the site on my own by trial and error

    Hi guys.

    I’m George, from eFrog Digital Designs.
    We coded and provided the free Greyzed theme that you’re using, compacc. And we’re pleased that you like it enough, to keep using it.

    While I’m certain that neither of you meant it to sound that way, the exchange above DOES make it sound like eFrog don’t know a piece of HTML- or PHP-code from a piece of pecan-pie, so I just thought I’d step in and straighten a few things out.

    1. “my theme uses efrog so alot of weirdness comes from that.”

    The “weirdness” comes from the edits you’ve made made. It’s very cool that you’re learning, and we applaud you for that.

    2. The analysis of the your output code is excellent. Now if you download a fresh (un-edited) copy of Greyzed and run THAT through the validator, you’ll find that none of those errors appear.

    3. You’ll also find our footer credit in the un-edited code. Please put it back, would you? It’s part of the quid-pro-quo of using a free theme.

    Thanks for listening. Appreciated. And enjoy the theme.

    Best regards
    George
