I'm writing up a GuideMLed version of my page and when i click on the "preview" button, it's giving me an error, and I don't know how to fix it.

Jacob does many thingsnot really. he's a boring lad. He is mainly an internet addict. He works full time. He just failed a class at a local college, so he doesn't plan on any other education at this point, and he sometimes sleeps. Jacob does not have many friends, so would like a few hint, hint

Hi sweetie.
*puts on guru hat*
I think what happened with that link thing is that you tried to insert a title where you didn't need one - like as if you were trying to give a picture a title.
This:
Jacob's Poetry
should be
Jacob's Poetry
I think. Pretty sure.

'kay - had another idea when I tested out the code for that page on a blank entry of mine. You'll need to delete the whole "title" bit from those other two links as well in order for them to work properly. The GuideML problem-detector thingie sometimes only picks up one error at a time, so it'll give you errors for all three until you fix them.
Hope that helps.

I'm sure you're all sorted, but just to point out what your *actual* problem was:
Jacob's Poetry
So what you actually typed was :
Jacob's Poetry
and the problem is that there's no space between the " and TITLE. Hence, required white space was missing. The correct link is:
Jacob's Poetry
(note the space between the URL and the word TITLE)
Just for future reference.
