See my long post near the top of the page where I answered your question as to what tags are required on a page.
I highlighted each one in italics to help you.
You then responded with what you had on your page, and what you have is less than what I had just posted immediately above.
You might have missed my post; maybe we posted about the same time or somthing? Check it out, and let me know if you need more help

g1smd - OK I see just what you mean now - however I am not at all knowledgeable as to how to do any of these things correctly to my pages.........sigh
To me it all looks like a new language 
I have never heard of any of them before - other then title, description and keywords.
Could you take a copy of one of my pages and enter the stuff I am missing as it should be and post here or send to me and maybe seeing it within my own content will help me understand it better.
Much Appreciated !
Beth

See list
You haven't got the content-type or content-language tags in your page.
Just copy those straight out of my example earlier in the thread! Nothing needs to be changed if your site is in English, and uses Western European alphabets (not Chinese or something exotic)
Add the code alt="" in the 5 or 6 places directed.
Check the nesting of tags, something is in the wrong order to give you those <b> and <font> errors.
Fix that lot, and then I'll carry on with the next part...

OK. From the PM, you say you are having trouble with that.
Below the <head> tag, paste in:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en">
Click the link to results. It takes you to an error list for your page.
The first error on the page is telling you that you dn't state which character set you page uses. So, the browser has no idea whether your page uses the Latin A to Z alphabet or is in Chinese. It can take a guess, but it is much better for you to state it, and the tags above do just that. Add them in (right after the opening <head> tag), and that error will be gone.
Look at the other errors. There are some other easy things to fix on that page.
First, look only at the ones that talk about ""ALT"". Look at which line number of your code that it relates to (scroll down to see a copy of your code with line numbers added for you convenience).
Then, in your code add this: alt="" :for each <img> tag where it says that the alt attribute is missing. Save your file and upload it.
Re-click the link to the validator results, and there should be no errors mentioned for "ALT" anymore.
Try that.....

Nice to meet you all, my name is Dustin. I made a website a few months back that im working very hard on. Ive gotten to the point that im ready for outsiders to see the finished work. Since the day I up and decided to teach myself HTML and bought this hosting ive been learning at a rapid pace. I have CS background in C++ and Q-basic, so much looks familiar to me.
The point is, im having the exact same trouble as this young lady, Ive been following the instructions that you have given her and I updated my page yesterday with the changes...now it wont show up at all. I figure it must be the header portion because thats all I changed. Im looking at the code and it all seems correct with proper nesting and scope. Id be eternally grateful if someone could have a look at it. I also ran it through that page analyzer you posted a link to here and am aware of my alt errors, which I have not yet tried to rectify with your previous posts on the topic.
My website contains material that might offend some people, its not pornographic and I dont sell anyhing nor have any ads, but some of my drawings are kinda tasteless, as well as my META description...I dont want to violate the rules here accidently...well, I cant post links....uhhhh...ok ill paste the code
PLease help!
EDIT, It should be noted I also have the pre-altered code saved here on my desktop just in case

Start by uncluterring the page simply by getting all that JavaScript code out into a linked .js file.
Having a huge block of JS code at the top of the page is not helping you at all.
