Trouble validating my site

Either the W3C validator (http://validator.w3.org/) either sucks or I am
a complete blooming idiot (not totally impossible on either account)

Here is my delima, I tried to validate my page on the validator and I
come up some of the most stupid errors that are keeping my site from
being XHTML compliant. What gives?
Validation of Mike Burns website :
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=ht...9&ss=1&No200=1

Website in question : http://www.mikeburns.org

Any help that I can get on this would be highly appreciative

Thanks

Pretty obvious, the only element allowed within a ul element is li, if
you want to nest a list within a list then the nested list will have to
be opened within a li.

The rest of the errors probably result from that error.

Btw, have a look at this:

Thank you - I cannot believe that I was SO STUPID. I guess that is what
happens when you spend 20hrs straight looking at lines of code and then
decide to update your own site :P

Thx again

"usually caused by an &....."

The correction is simple. Use &amp instead of the single character version.
From the looks of the errors, that should eliminate most of them.
