My 1st question is: I am lost on how to go about putting together iContact email marketing lists. Please help!? Thanks for any response. Another question... Gday,.

My webpage is.

Www.ozscapes.com.au.

Firstly..

I have been having trouble with metatags and search engines etc..

I went to a html validator webpage and ran the validator and it came up with a heap of errors in the metatags which I have no idea what they mean..

Could someone possibly take a look at my iContact site on the HTML validator and possibly explain it to me?.

Thanks.

ALexi..

I would like to know the answer too. Anyone here know what is the right answer. I'll do some investigation and get back to you if I bump into an decent answer. You should email the people at iContact as they probably know..

Comment #1

Yea thats where I went and the error codes and things that came up I cant figure out why it wont work?.

If someone has some time to have alook I would really appreciate it..

Comment #2

You have a lot of quote marks missing - you should always delimit attributes with either a single or double quote mark (and try not to mix and match):.

Also, all tags which don't have a closing tag need to be written like:.

<meta http-equiv='header' content='blah'.

/>.

<link href='somefile.css' type='text/css' rel='stylesheet'.

/>.

This should get you started.....

Thanks a lot I will try that now..

Appreciate it..

Comment #4

Im still in so far over my head.....

I'll do anything for someone if they can fix up just the metatags so they work... please!..

Comment #5

Well, if you work from my last post which tells you where you have errors in the meta tags, then they should work...

Comment #6

Sorry to be a pain, but thats what ive tried and it still comes up with the same error messages...ive tried putting in quote marks, and takin em out even and still the same...?..

Comment #7

I've just realised a mistake on the keywords meta tag I gave you - I put the quote in the wrong place....

You should ALWAYS put quotes around attribute values...

Comment #8

You are still missing a LOT of quotes. Any attribute (anything="blah") should be quoted..

It should look more like that. ALL of your META and LINK tags should end in " />" (space slash greater-than). The space must be there, and you have to do it on ALL of the tags that do not have a closing tag (<p> does not need it, because you use </p> to close it)..

It looks like JUST fixing the META and LINK problems will fix 22 of your errors. Make the changes, and then post back...

Comment #9

Nope. still comes up with the same errors..

This is what I have in there....

Comment #10

OK, the part in red was supposed to be taken out.....

Comment #11

Ok, the script on lines 4-13 need to be INSIDE the head tags (which open on line 14. I'd put it JUST before the </head> tag)...

Comment #12

I love you guys!.

Only 3 errors left....which I cant fix by the way.

I will push on I suppose..

Do you think those errors would have caused google to miss the tags for the listing?..

Comment #13

OK, for some reason when I looked at you page the first time, I thought it was XHTML, but it turns out...it's HTML (4.01). So, the bit about closing your meta tags with ' />' needs to be ignored. Just close them with the > (no space...no slash). I think that if you do that on the meta tags, and the link tags, you should be good...
