This plugin produces W3C errors!

Hello!

According W3C validator this plugin produces following errors.

1. The effect tag causes the error “Attribute effect not allowed on element a at this point.”:
<a class=' sficn' effect='' target='_blank' href='https://www.facebook.com/...' id='sfsiid_facebook' alt='Facebook' style='opacity:1' >
Fix: Replace the effect tag with data-effect.

2. Same with img elements:
<img alt='Facebook' title='Facebook' src='https://.../wp-content/plugins/ultimate-social-me…default/default_facebook.png' width='30' height='30' style='' class='sfcm sfsi_wicon' effect='' />

3. Also the alt tag causes an error “Attribute alt not allowed on element a at this point.”:
<a class=' sficn' effect='' target='_blank' href='https://www.facebook.com/...' id='sfsiid_facebook' alt='Facebook' style='opacity:1' >
Fix: Remove the alt tag.

4. The plugin produces faulty CSS code for the input[type=email]
in the subscription form, although the font color is selected in the backend:
color: !important;
Fix: Here the same color should be used as for input[type=submit].

5. Adding a style element to the body is not allowed:

<style type="text/css" aria-selected="true">
	.sfsi_subscribe_Popinner
	{ ...

Fix: Add the element to the head instead of the body.

These are severe errors that negatively influenced the page ranking, if you use this plugin.
Be aware of that!

Hopefully the plugin author will fix these issues as soon as possible.
