[sword-devel] Bible Software Google Search

[Don A. Elbourne Jr.]

Does non-valid HTML effect the Google ranking or are you raising a different
issue?

We do need to make it valid HTML. Some of the mistakes might be mine, some
were introduced between the time the template left my hands and reached the
server. Most seem to be created by the dynamically inserted stuff. I will
try to go through and see where all the problems are coming from and see if
we can get that all cleaned up.

by grace alone,
