Well, I wish I could help you, but I am having the same problem. Hopefully, it is just a reminant of the move, and will be fixed soon.
It is a bug, as when I tried with an already working entry, I got the same response.
Good Luck

That code works fine for me here http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/A518302 - you can see the code here http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/test518302
The only way I can get the same error result is to have a spare unclosed somewhere else on the page.
If you're still having the problem let me know the url for the entry with the problem & I'll have a look.

thank you for you your help Bruce it was of great assistance...but a more major problem has arisen since i ask for your help!
I was contacted last night by h2g2 saying my front page was in breach of someones copyright & i have some idea what i may have place in entry that was causing the problem but i would like reasurance before approaching h2g2 to ask about it and make a complaint as they have specified what i have done wrong which only 15 is a little difficult therefore to reavalue my page! I believe the problem lies in either my links to outside pages or my song lyrics which i have added to my page as i believe they show a certain proportion of my tastes.
Please please please PLEASE can you help me change my page so that i don't recieve anymore emails telling me i have made a mistake which i am unknowingly making!
Just please have a look at my page and tell me what you belive i should remove & make my page look even barer!
thanks
Em

I had a look at your page (very nice
) & I'd guess that the problem lies in those lyrics. Because you've quoted whole songs (that someone else wrote) it's a breach of their copyright.
I read somewhere on h2g2 that lyrics/poems etc can only be quoted as part of a review. So maybe if you can add some reasons why you like those songs & why they reflect your tastes it might be acceptable.
Sorry if I'm a bit vague on this but the moderation system is a bit new for all of us. You can ask questions about moderation here http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/Moderation-HelpDesk
hope it helps

Hey, Hi again Bruce! While you're here, I've got a question. How do I get a bigger font size in GuideML ? I'm having trouble adjusting...
See you 'round!

Hi Em, Thanks, it worked. Now, any ideas about font colors? I'm new at this, I'm used to just 'stealing' code...

Since you can't go to that link you can do it like this
text
& you can substitute most common colour names RED, BLUE, GREEN, BLACK ETC
There's a Guide Entry somewhere on Websafe colours - but I'm not sure if it's been reactivated.
BTW I should point out that whilst the HTML FONT tag currently works it isn't officially endorsed/supported, so there's no guarantee it will always continue to work in the future

Thanks again,Bruce, maybe I'll learn some HTML ONE day! Right now I'm working on learning Mazatrol conversational programming at mt 'new' job. I work in a machine shop running CNC machines. Very cool, the best job I've ever had(out of MANY!! ). Anyhow, I never got my satellite internet, but now MSN has a satellite service that uploads AND downloads! Still pretty expensive, but I will get it just because I've suffered so long!! Catch you later...
