That’s a good point. Validation is the lowest row of bricks on the pyramid. Everything else builds on top of that.
If you ever have a case where a JavaScript effect won’t work, for example, the first diagnostic step should be to validate your page. An invalid page usually won’t work correctly in JavaScript, either.

Ok, so should I not worry about this? I was just trying to make it “smoother” for search engines and not have them “turn away” and not deal w my site

In order to appear taller in the eyes of the search engines, the single most important thing you can do is get linked to by other, more important sites. As I always tell my clients, the way to do that is to be interesting and honest. It’s probably a toss-up which of those is more powerful. But as far as honesty goes, my read of that term is this: the harder you try – the more corners you cut – just to be noticed, the less likely it is to work for you in the long run. All the various tricks people try to shortcut the process of being indexed and ranked higher than their competition are just that – tricks. Nobody, not even Google, like to be tricked. Those tricks may work short-term, but they may get you noticed the wrong way and blacklisted for a very long time.

Thats what I am now understanding…
do you have a suggestion how to do the linking thing? convincing others to exchange - and where do you post the links - is it simply like what i have in my current blog?
w the rest I am just trying to follow the google guidelines etc. I am not trying to cut corners. if anything that everything is done properly so i don’t get ignored. LOL
Thank you !!

The answer to that is to write things that are near to your heart, that you can speak passionately about. And participate in comments on other blogs, and include links to your site in your signature. There’s no set of steps you can follow, really, besides that. You can try to ask others for links to you, but it’s stronger if they link to you because they want to, which is where the passion comes in. Passion is contagious!
