I’m going nuts validating my site

  • I am trying to validate my site, but it never passes and I don’t understand how to fix the problems. Now all of a sudden, the rss feed doesn’t validate either. I believe my problems have something to do with character decoding, but I’m not sure. At least 6 months ago I changed character decoding from iso-8859-1 to UTF-8 since I had some weird signs showing up here and there. Especially on Swedish characters and since I write in Swedish this was a problem.

    Can anyone help me or point me in the right direction on how to fix these validating problems. I need help on how to find out what the problems are, and how to fix it.

    Feedvalidator link:

    Any help is greatly appreciated!

  • It’s easy enough. You are using characters in your posts that don’t belong there. You have to use utf-8 codes for special characters like & #228; for ‘?’ (without blanks after ‘&’ of course ^_^)

    But isnt that supposed to be automatic? Are you really saying that each time I want to use a swedish character I need to enter a code like &#228? And do I also need to go through every post I have ever done, changing ??? to codes like we just mentioned.

    Actualy I don’t know. ^_^ It’s just what came to my mind when I saw the validator’s error message. I didn’t see any extraordinarily strange characters in your pagesource, so … *shrugs*
