Hello, this is all new to me and I don't know anything about what these errors and warnings mean.
I'm using Atahualpa 3.6.4 and WP 3.1 I don't even know what to look for.
I guess I should put this in several posts because it's long.
Could someone offer some advice?

I git rid of the youtube vids, the facebook like plugin and the fb and twitter share plugin, and I'm down to 14 errors and 9 warnings, which I'm assuming are all theme related.

This message may appear in several cases:
You tried to include the "<" character in your page: you should escape it as "<"
You used an unescaped ampersand "&": this may be valid in some contexts, but it is recommended to use "&", which is always safe.
Another possibility is that you forgot to close quotes in a previous tag.

You have used the element named above in your document, but the document type you are using does not define an element of that name. This error is often caused by:
incorrect use of the "Strict" document type with a document that uses frames (e.g. you must use the "Frameset" document type to get the "<frameset>" element),
by using vendor proprietary extensions such as "<spacer>" or "<marquee>" (this is usually fixed by using CSS to achieve the desired effect instead).
by using upper-case tags in XHTML (in XHTML attributes and elements must be all lower-case).

You may have neglected to close an element, or perhaps you meant to "self-close" an element, that is, ending it with "/>" instead of ">".
