Anyone wanting to check their HTML's validity should go to
<http://validator.w3.org/> which is a very good HTML validator. You'll
need to put a DTD on the top of your HTML documents - this is explained
at
the above site.

Run the Validator with "pendant mode" and "Weblint" enabled, and it will
call EVERYTHING wrong with your HTML, even the stuff that doesn't
interfere with proper viewing on any viewer. A great way to learn proper
HTML, btw.

A warning to fellow Geocities site owners: those GeoGuide advert things
are solid bad HTML...really shitty coding. Several of my pages, EVERY
error that comes up is because of the GeoGuide; my own coding is
perfect...not to boast or anything... :) oh, and you _can_ get rid of
those annoying Geo-popup things w/o leaving Geocities...

Anyway, do check out the Validator.
