1) Blogger uses XHTML language, which is strict and unforgiving
2) Codes must be in lowercase:
WRONG <TITLE>Release Me Create</TITLE>
RIGHT <title>Release Me Create</title>
3) Attributes must be in quotations
NO <div id=header-wrapper>
YES <div id="header-wrapper">
4) Container Elements must have closing tags
SAD <p>A paragraph. Bla, bla, bla. Words.
HAPPY <p>A paragraph. Bla, bla, bla. Words.</p>
5) Standalone elements must be closed
TRY AGAIN <meta>...
THERE YOU GO <meta>...<meta/>
ENHHHHH <img>...
DING DING DING <img>...<img/>
6) Elements must be properly nested (or closed in the reverse order)
INCORRECT <form><table> ... </form></table>
CORRECT <form><table> ... </table></form>
7) Document can only have one root element, and everything is to be nested within
NO NO NO
<head> ... </head>
<html>
<body> ... </body>
</html>
</html>
YES YES YES
<html>
<head> ... </head>
<body> ... </body>
</html>
</html>
8) No skimping on the attribute name="value"
BAD <textarea readonly>Hyperlink Code</textarea>
GOOD <textarea readonly="readonly">Hyperlink Code</textarea>

I hope this will help you the next time you see that silly error code!
Happy Blogging!
