my website is "not valid"

Why is my website "not valid"

If I remove all the stuff it tells me to, my website just gets all discombobulated.

It would be great if any one could help.

I have the some of the same issues with mine. Try a different validator and maybe the suggestions will be in a language you can better understand. And then I would go back and make each change or edit, one at a time. And then test it after each edit. That way you can find out exactly what is "discombobulating" it.

The only trouble is i have no idea how to do that in css. I know Html I use Dreamweaver for the css.

I didn't realize you weren't using CSS! That's the problem! LOL.

I am no master at CSS by any means and much more comfortable in table design so I understand your reasoning. I am learning CSS to improve my pages as all you need to do is look at the code and the difference is unbelievable how much cleaner a CSS site is. Also spiders like it more too

Tables I use now for data only or if I need to put up a quick site and the time is not there for me in the work day to get something clean done and on the web as I am learning CSS.

Techwiz, keep at the CSS no matter how frustrating it gets, it is very satisfying to look at your work after and know you learned it and is a definate plus to advertise in your skillset.

Thanks, I have got the validation worked out.
