The first error I get when I validate my site is:
Error Line 10 column 46: document type does not allow element "META" here.
<meta name="revisit-after" content="30 days" />

You should validate your code. Here is an article about using META tags. First thing you should do is switch your doctype to strict:
[html]<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">[/html]
why strict
i use transitional on all of my sites
can you please explain
You aren't transitioning from anything, transitional is to allow you to use deprecated tags.
As AricC already said (and I'm surprised drhowarddrfine hasn't lectured you yet), all new pages should use the strict DOCTYPE. You aren't transitioning from anything, so you don't use it. You should be coding in strict x/html now.
Don't think I didn't notice.
From this day forth.... The use of strict doctype will be known as the "drhowarddrfine standard"!
That's funny they're even asking nicely!
Ok I changed it to strict and now I get 390 errors, before it was lees thatn that
can you be more specific why not to use transitional, will that hurt my site?
and is there a way to make a flv files validated, that is flash movie files not swf files?
Part of the problem is you used the Xhtml doctype which has certain requirements, such as lower case in tags and different closing end tags. Use this one and see where you stand:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
It's the HTML strict doctype and you might as well use it and avoid the problems Xhtml will cause you.
The only purpose of transitional is transitioning older web pages that use deprecated code while adding newer code and trying to blend them together. It's a heads up for the browser when it interprets your code. The set of rules you are saying your are going to use.
Therefore, all new pages should use the strict doctype because you shouldn't be using deprecated code, that is, code that is going away, in new pages.

You don't need to validate flash files you only need to validate that the code around the flash files is correct. On to the doctype, you're still using transitional you should change to strict.
what do you mean by you do not have to validate the flash
if i use the flash swf file I have to use satay mode to validate it
and what about the flash movies FLA, how to validate that??
I don't know Flash but there isn't anything to validate but the code. You just need to embed the movie properly.
[html]<object width="550" height="400">
<param name="movie" value="somefilename.swf">
<embed src="somefilename.swf" width="550" height="400">
</embed>
</object> [/html]

<meta name="revisit-after" content="30 days" />
I am pretty sure that the meta tags have to be in the head
Just make sure that the meta tag is in between your <head> and your </head>
The only two meta tags you need are robots and content.
